Dear Bill & family: When Mom (Irene Perry), and myself, moved to Shrewsbury, many years ago, I'll always remember you both, as 2 of the nicest and friendly, people of St. Ann's. I hope I am correct in this, however, if I remember right, you were the friends with the small plane, who took myself and Mom, one Sunday afternoon, for a ride all the way to the Cape and back in a short time, just to have lunch! Some Memories do stay with you, forever! Lucille and yourself, Bill, were the first ones to volunteer to help anyone & everyone, when needed! Now the Lord has called her home, however, leaving a fantastic legacy to follow! My Deepest Sympathy. Dianne

Bill & Sandy,
I was so sorry to get Bill's call regarding Lucille. You know that both Bill & Lucille are very dear to me. I admired her faith and her courage as she dealt with her illness and was determined to live each day as fully as possible. I've always loved her feisty spirit! You are in my prayers!
