Dear Bill and all,
Belated but sincere sympathies on the loss of your Mom from the family of Bill Walsh (Blue Cross). Although our contact was limited, it was apparent that she was a lovely and gracious woman. That entire Blue Cross group was quite an amazing bunch. Our thoughts & prayers are w/all of you.
