Helen, it is with sadness that I have heard of Earl's death. My prayers will be with you in the days ahead. Saturday evening was 4 years since my Judy's death & I miss her more each day. Holidays are not enjoyed any more. Tell Fred & the other Family members I said hello. Earl & I worked together for 3 yrs at CST. May GOD bless & provide for all.
