Dear Family,
My Dad (Rodney Cline) has been friends with Bill for many years and has always spoken well of Bill and Sue. I only got to know Bill several years ago when Dad had major surgery. Bill and Sue visited dad frequently during this time and I found out what a nice and sincere couple they were. Sue was a lovely person and took the kidding that Dad and Bill gave her well. I know she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless.
