Message: It is still hard to believe Blam is gone. Even though he has dealt with health issues for some time, Blam was positive and put the work in to lose the weight, to exercise. And we all know he loved to coach high school football. He enjoyed his life despite the dialysis.
We all know CP and our prayers are with you and the family.
I will miss my morning check-ins on Facebook. As we loose friends, it is the little things that start to add up.
