Dear Uncle Bill, cousins Pat & Lin,



Some of my loving memories of Aunt Mike are: Her laughter that seemed to flow so freely; how warm and happy I felt in her presence; the way her eyes sparkled when she looked at you, Uncle Bill. She was indeed, a treasure.



Love, Nancie

Dear Judge Bauer



I was saddened to read about your beloved wife's passing today and I

share your pain and suffering. Is there anything I can do to help?

I only hope I can be as helpful and caring as you were when Cathy's situation deteriorates.

May God bless you both.

Bill, Pat and Lin,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have fond memories of Mike car-pooling us to school, watching the moon landing together, helping me when I cut my leg on Pat's bike, her daily phone calls with my Mom and many other moments in time - significant and not so significant. We will all miss her dearly.



Love, Bill, Jill, Billy & Kelley
