To Mrs. Eastburn and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Eastburn was such a nice person and in growing up I thought how cool is this guy....he plays music, he has a neat family. But he plays music and in a band! I chuckle now. Mrs. Eastburn, my prayers and thoughts are to you and the family during this sad time.
