Cindy,
It has been a long time since we communicated or even played together as children, but I remember you well and I remember William. I knew him as Corkie and I always thought he was a very nice guy and was happy for you when you married. From what I have heard, you had a wonderful marriage and I know you will miss him greatly.
I know you are proud of his service to our country. I am grateful to him for his service and to you, as his spouse, who sacrificed so much so he could serve. Cindy, I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.
Becky "Moore" Thomas, Richmond, VA

I am sorry to hear of Nick's passage. I recall him being in the military still when I first met him out at Amer. M&S in Leesville in the late 70's.
He served his country twice.
Rest well.
