Dear Bunnie, Laurie, and Jean,
We didn't expect this to be the next time we got in touch. We were grieved to read about Bill's death and we want you to know how much we treasured our time with him from Honduras on...
We are further saddened to say that we are committed to attend the memorial services of another close friend at the exact time of Bill's ceremony, so we won't be able to join you. All our love to you three. God Bless you all.
