I have very fond memories of visiting California by Uncle Bill and Aunt Jen when I was young. And as an adult, Jack and I came for visit and we received wonderful hospitality from them and you all.I'm sure Uncle Bill and all of you will dearly miss Aunt Jen. I really miss my dad, still. Our prayers are with you.
