To the wonderful family of the most wonderful Bill Brace.........

Sending my love to all of you, from Seattle.

Dear Peggy, I wish I could find some way to be of help. I may try the phone soon, but it must be ringing continuously. I plan to be in Concord for the service. Loved reading about Bill's great accomplishments and interests. What a truly great duo, you two!!!!

Again, my love to all, Betty King

So sorry to hear about Bill. I used to work on his computers, and was always interested to learn about the things he was working on. Such a great guy.
