Aunt Hilda, Barbie and Mark, My heartfelt sympathies are with you during this time of sorrow. I am confident my parents welcomed Uncle Will into Heaven with open arms along with Alice and Mabel. What a wonderful welcoming committee. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Love to all. Cousin Lois (Castle Shannon, PA native)
