I no all you kids no how much your grandmother loved you but you never heard her tell me every time we talked about how the kids effected her life you thought the four of you where the greatest. I think the angel in the family would have to be Fran you gave of many hours days and night to care for Carolyn take her places seen that she had everything she needed spent many hours on the road taken her to the hospital and she loved you very much and told me so more than you ever knew. Johnny you get some of that credit also for going with Fran taking care of the things at home Carolyn needed and standing by your wife because that is hard to do when so much time is involved. I just want to thank you both for everything you did for Carolyn she was like a mother to me and I no you heard that several times but it was true and I loved Bill and Carolyn very much they will be sadly missed, thanks for being a friend
