Sue,
Here's a little story about how Bill helped one of my grandsons: Carter had been riding my bike in the neighborhood. (He had not been riding a two-wheel bike very long.) One day he returned from a spin down the street and said, "MawMaw, the pedal came off your bike." As Carter pointed to the corner in front of Wanda's, he said, "but he put it back on for me." There stood Bill looking back toward our house. I waved to him and thanked him. May our good Lord bless and keep you.
A neighbor,
Frances
