When I heard of his passing two songs kept playing in my mind. One was a Vince Gill song entitled “Go Rest High on That Mountain,” which I figured Mondo would hate! This is the other and I hope he would have loved it.

Gone Too Soon (Michael Jackson)

Like a comet Blazing 'cross the evening sky Gone too soon

Like a rainbow Fading in the twinkling of an eye Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly And splendidly bright Here one day Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight On a cloudy afternoon Gone too soon

Like a castle Built upon a sandy beach Gone too soon

Like a perfect flower That is just beyond your reach Gone too soon

Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight Here one day Gone one night

Like a sunset Dying with the rising of the moon Gone too soon, Gone too soon

He was always there when called upon with his classic wit, helpful advice and beautiful outlook. I am still amazed that he posted “Born to be Alive” at a time when he was losing his battle. What an absolute “Ray” of sunshine he was. 🌞
