Dear "Jeanie" and Migre Family Cousins,
Bill was so loved by all of the Reardons and Costellos. Such a fine man, with a wonderful sense of humor! I remember when he came to Tucson for my wedding. I can still see him sitting in the backyard by the pool with my Dad that morning, both so relaxed and happy - dressed in their suits, telling stories, and enjoying some good laughs! I feel blessed to have known Bill, and honored that he was my Godfather.
Much love to you all,
Mary Beth and Family
