Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

I think of Joan and Jay so often still. You were my first friends in Valdosta, Georgia....all the way back in 1961. I wish you peace.
