I was so sorry to hear about your loss from my parents the other day. I will never forget as long as I live the day Bill took my mom and me to Independence when I was bitten by the snake down at the creek. I think that was the first time I have gone over 90 MPH and watched a Missouri Trooper almost break his neck turning around to see the flash.



May God bless your family and we are all thinking about you!.
