For my Laura, Billy and Darlene,

Miles and time have played havoc with our family, and memories grow fainter, but love for your mom and dad and their three beautiful children has never left my heart. Your dad was such a great part of my childhood; I will never forget Bill, and what a wonderful part of my life he was.

I wish you all peace.

Love,
Evelyn

Dear Billy and Family,
I loved your Dad and will miss him deeply. He was a strong and good man, who always tried to steer us in the right direction and we had many great times at the boat and at your house . I will miss seeing him in his chair in the diningroom drinking coffee and smoking a butt , his gruff voice kidding * WHAT !!! * Ha Ha .. he was so cool . At least he,s not suffering and in Heaven with his family and freinds. I am sure he,s fishing somewhere with my dad who went to Heaven last month .
Hugs and Kisses to you
Love Glenn and Family
