Nancy; I 'm very sorry to read about the loss of your husband. You and I were graduates of EHS, class of 1958. My late brother Jimmy Anderson knew your husband. My wife Patricia and I currently live in a retirement community in Lancaster County, PA. I do remember seeing you and your friend Pat at our 50th class reunion.
My wife and I will pray for you and your family knowing that the days ahead may not be easy.
Prayerfully, Frank and Patricia Anderson
