Yesterday

Andrea, I have fond memories of both your parents (and you!). I remember the tribute you wrote about Bill (and your mother) published in the Athens Banner Herald. You have been a devoted daughter for many years. I regret that I didn´t know your brother, but I remember how proud they were of him.

Best wishes, and sincere sympathy from Lori Hammer
