Beverly, your friends at SWHS'60 have noted with sadness the article that appeared in The KC Star. Please accept our condolences. We were also unaware of the loss of your beloved husband. I had an opportunity to visit with him at our reunion.
Blessings to you in your loss, and may the memories you carry give you comfort.
