We keep those we love forever alive by remembering them. Artie, your brightness will shine on forever in my heart and in my life.

Artie Wolff..."One of my favorite people in the world." Artie and I said that about each other! Here was a man with a heart as big as his towering musical talent. A songwriter without peer, with a voice that could cut through fog, Artie provided the soundtrack to the beautiful life my husband and I shared. We met at one of Artie's blistering rockabilly shows and never looked back. When my husband died, Artie reached out and called me, connecting me to the most important aspect of our shared life - Artie's music. Now our beloved friend is truly "Riding With the King," and I don't mean Elvis. In tribute, my friend: "Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality" - Emily Dickinson - " In the world you will have many trials, but cheer up! I have overcome the world." - Jesus Christ - Peace, peace. All my loving.

Artie was a family friend.Over a period of many years, that friendship meant so much.Artie had a bright spirit that found its truest expression in his music.I have a signed cassette case that Artie and his bandmates autographed for my brother-in-law years ago.I treasure it because that brother-in-law lives in Paradise now...Music touches the heart,and Artie touched mine.I pray that he lives with our Lord and experiences the love which we all aspire to. "Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 14:8
