Edna,

I would like to say, I am sorry to you, Bill Jr. and family, for our loss, and also say, Thank You, to You and Bill, for being there, when we were all growing up.

Bill was my Dad's best friend. Not only as a co-worker, but as a person who made a difference in my family's life, and a difference in many young men in North Medford Little League.

You were always there for Mom and us. You both are the example, that she taught us. "Friends are Family."

I have another angel, and Dad has his baseball buddy with him.
