Fine Young People

Last night the Chicago music community paid tribute to Carlos Hernandez Gomez, musician, political reporter, man of faith, humanitarian – a fine young man called home to heaven much too young after a battle with cancer.

My son Dann opened the concert singing George Harrison’s words, “Give me love, give me love, give me peace on earth.” I have a lump in my throat as I type those words. I thank God for Carlos and Dann, Carlos' wife Randi, and all the fine young men and two women who performed in honor of their dear friend. Oh, and they also raised thousands of dollars for Living Water International to build wells in Haiti in Carlos' name – his last wish.
