Dear Bill Sr., Jr., and Debbie,
When we were very young my brother, sister, and I talked about the days we would see Bill & Helen every summer. Helen always made spaghetti & meatballs for us. When Billy and Debbie came along we were concerned about taking a back seat, but Bill and Helen were always there for us.
God be with all of you.
Sincerely,
Tom, Ellen, and Ben Crabill
