Annette and David, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. Your Dad was mentioned in memory at the 3 masses said this week end. He lived such a full life and now is with his beloved Eleanor. Take care and stay safe. All your friends from Gloucester, VA

Our deepest sympathy to all of you. When we came up from Florida we stopped by and spent a morning with Willis. It was so enjoyable listening to him tell his stories. He seemed in the best of spirits that day and we are grateful that we spent this time with him.
