I often think of you and Mr. Breehl. You would come to the school and wait for your husband to finish his day with us, his students. I never met your son but knowing his parents I am sure he was a friendly, well grounded young man. Your heart still grieves and the family times seem incomplete but the memories give you solace. Thinking of you with a heavy heart today.

I am so sorry for your loss. Shelly may your special memories of your great romance and of the family you made together help ease your grief.
I worked with Bill at Crane for a few years and he was always so funny. We picked on each other constantly and he was so funny.
Thoughts and prayers for the family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time of loss. It's been quite some time since I had last seen Bill. I'd like to share some fond memories I have of Bill from childhood. Memories of Saturday rabbit hunts. They had the best beagles in T-county. We would walk for miles. Bill had a great shot, he rarely missed. Memories of marathon games of Risk and memories of slaying bass across the highway at the lake. His laughter and easy going personality will be greatly missed. He will be fondly remembered as the great person he was.
