Not sure what to say?

I remember how Uncle Bill and family would drive across country, California to Georgia, in four days. I was amazed as a child and even more so now as an adult. He was a steady consistent example of caring for his family near and far.

My husband Bob and I have rented and lived across the street from Bill and Ethyl for 17 years and over those years we have had the best tomatoes and melons I have ever had!

Bill will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we send our deepest sympathy to Ethyl and all his family.

I think of your fruit trees when I look at my tiny lime tree.
