I will send my note to you, Pat when I can obtain your address! All of our Warren family send love, prayers, and the treasure of many memories. We were shocked and sadened to read that Bill had passed away. You might smile when I tell you that Wendy's son Dylan loves the piano, and with the aid of modern tech stuff, is really working on Fur Elise, my first serious music Grandma Di, says he.
Our love to all of you,
Diana

I am thinking of you all now as you mourn Bill's passing. I worked with Bill on the Children's Clinics finance committee for several years and he was a wonderful and caring man.
