Bill, Nancy and I have a host of wonderful memories of the great times we've had together and all the places we gone together on both business and pleasure trips. The vacations in Myrtle Beach and the weekends at your lake cabin are both fun and sad to remember. We were shocked to learn of Joan's passing and truly are sorry for the grief you are no doubt bearing. We are truly sorry we did not know until Wednesday evening because we would have liked to have participated in the services. We extend our sincere sympathy to you and our prayers will be with you. Love Ya Old Man Crawford & Nancy
