Vernell,
Our prayers are with you and your family at this time. I remember fondly saying good morning or good evening to Bill each day as I pasted going to or coming from the train. Bill always had the nicest things to say about our daughter Taylor. Both she and Boomer (the dog) loved sitting on your porch. My parents send their prayers as well.
Take care, Dave & Nora (former neighbors 2 doors up)

To the Wheeler/Branch Family, I was very sorry to hear that your father passed away. When we lived next door to you guys years ago, I remember your Dad doing his wood working and finishing your basement. He had a real talent. He always had a kind word or joke to share, which I really appreciated. His spirit will live on in each of you. I'm keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
