Hi, Anne! "The Wind" is a beautiful recording. 
I think Dutch's petition is great; he'll be sending all 
the entries to Warren's family in two more weeks or so. The petition 
will remain open online and accepting fan signatures indefinitely 
(until Dutch sends the whole thing to the RRHoF). It will undoubtedly 
assist in Warren's induction, be a comfort to his family and an 
outlet for his fans.
According to the recent interviews I've read, Warren seems to be at 
peace. 
Thanks!
