    I fell in love with Adam & Little Joe it was such a hard choice that which ever one was on the screen was my love for that moment, I started to watch when I was in first grade and on, on Bonanza on Saturday nights. It was the last show we could watch before bed for church on Sunday, it was a routine. Thank you Pernell for all your acting that was more to a little child, you fed all our dreams you let us know that we could be anything. “Rest in Peace.” I know that you are with God now. We all will miss you and I will pray for your family. Love you.
