Bill, I'm so sorry for your loss. I could not make it to the funeral home as my wife is in the hospital and I could not get away.

God has one beautiful angel in heaven looking over us. I can remember the days when she watched baseball and softball at Germantown when I was a child, she was always the one that never had anything bad to say,and then I was fortunate that I was able to see her at many of the SSM, ST.X and Germantown games supporting our teams as well as seeing her at the many Derby parties at the Haydens. I always looked forward to seeing her and talking about her children and her beloved grandchildren. Rest in Peace and you will be grately missed. My thought and prayers with the Hayden and Birk families.
