I know you are keeping an eye on us as you always were nosey. Maybe you can finally get in a little fishing. All I ask is that you keep mom back. All my love.
Dear Gail and family, It has been quite a few years since we were “in touch” and I am truly sorry to learn of Bill’s passing. I so enjoyed the times we shared. You are in my prayers. Gloria
