Bill & Susan:

My friend, Brenda, called me Friday night and read his obituary to me.

I was sorry to hear about Bill. Clay told me at church yesterday that he'd been a nursing home and had been going down for a while. I didn't even know this--no reason for anyone to let me know. You know how much I loved him--regardless! We go back too many years--he was Daddy's best friend. My thoughts are with the two of you and your families. Bill, glad you are back in Texas. Hope you and Susan get back what you have lost over the years. Loved the picture of Bill!!!!! Just the way I remember him.

Love, Sally
