Rose, I remember the first day I met Bill. He was laughing, so full of excitement. I was sure that he had been hired to do the activities. On another occasion I was talking to Bill in the library. He was telling me about this project that he was working on. He was so worried that because he was working so late he would miss your visit. I assured him that you were coming. He asked me how I knew that. I told him that I had talked to you and that you were on your way. He looked at me with such a puzzeled look and said, "You know my Rose?" What a wonderful man! He was so lucky to have you, a very devoted wife. What a pleasure it was to have met both of you. May the wonderful memories of Bill help you and your family through this difficult time.
