Hi Charlene, Alyn & Mike,
My deepest sympathy for your loss of Billy. It's been too many years since I've visited with all of you, but I fondly remember Billy. My thoughts and prayers were with you yesterday. Regretfully, my university and CPA continuing education events conflicted with the funeral and shiva evening. Best wishes during this difficult period,
