Tara and Bret,
I always remember both your mom and dad with great love. They were such a staple in my life. Mike remembers when he coached the legion team in the summer he would come out and stand at the back fence and watch the games. He was a really good guy. Love Becky

*Rest In Peace .."Uncle Bill" ... As a youth I was amazed at his Tattoos from his Navy days. Bill would share his Navy experiences which were interesting. (Jerry Masterson nephew of Becky Masterson Bacon)
