Bill,
I am so sorry to learn of Arline´s passing. Seeing you almost every Saturday morning in the men´s group for about 25 years, I heard you express your deep love for Arline more than often. Thus I saw you as one of the most
in-love husbands I have ever known. Your love for your family was profound also. My condolences go to that loving family and you.
