Uncle Bill was my mother´s brother and always a standard of stable hometown life to me. I had no idea he was in the 101st or earned the Bronze Star ... I knew him as a highly respected member of my mother´s hometown and a banker.

Dear Nancy and family:



Please except my sympathy in the passing of your dad. I know my mom and dad knew your parents. My mom just passed away May 15th and my dad's been gone since 2001 so I understand your loss. Cheryl Brown and I have been emailing each other come to find out her mom who just passed and my mom both lived at the Linden House in Hobart before they passed. Small world.

We are enjoying keeping in contact with each other.

In Christian Love,

Linda (Conley) Ausenbaugh

Nancy, Jim and families. It doesn't seem possible that Aunt Jayne and now Uncle Bill have both left us in the same year. But at least we know that they are now at peace together. Please know that we will be with you in love and prayer. A donation will be sent to the hurricane relief fund at Red Cross in memory of your Dad, and Grandpa....Much Love to all of you. Cousin Ruthanne, and family
