Death Quote by Timothy B. Schmit

“I've had a lot of people pass away in my life. I guess it's all a matter of how you deal with your mortality - and recognizing that you are mortal. I'm trying to see what a gift life is and how quickly it can be extinguished, without any warning.” quote by Timothy B. Schmit
