I was so saddened to hear about Uncle Bill's passing. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to all of you. (I wasn't able to attend the services, as I was out of town with my husband Pete.)



With love,

Lori and Barb. I am so sad. I knew your family for so many years that I feel a personal loss too. My prayers are with you. I married a widower three years ago and learned that life does go on. Sharon
