Dear Barbara,
Paul & I are so sorry to hear of Bill's passing, we were in Florida , for a mini vacation! Went to Disney, & visited with friends in the Village. We did not learn of Bill's passing until today when we spoke to uncle Al! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I would love to come and visit you, when the time is right. Please let me know. Always love Nancy & Paul Reichert
