Dear Barbara - wishing you the best, knowing you are bathed in the light of God's love for you and for Bill. I've been in the hospital for 2 weeks with a broken arm and a broken leg, and so was unable to be with you to offer my sympathies in person. I can't help but remember the wonderful times we had on so many great Buick trips to so many great places. Love and comforting hugs to you all. Karen Bushy
