Tyler Beard passed away last night in Dallas, Texas. I was told that he died of complications from his longtime battle with cancer.

Tyler's generosity, friendship and his books changed the lives of many, many people.

Last week, I got a Christmas card from Tyler... with a note scribbled on the back. Right now, I'm having a hard time finding any meaningful words.

I'm sad. I miss him ...I want to call him and tell him so.
