Alice, you are in our prayers, we felt bad that we couldn't attend the services today; but as you know, Bill is in no condition to make the trip. He has many fond memories of his cousin Jim, esoecially when Bill was resident of Williamstown. Jim was a great father, we can remember his caring for Lisa and Derek when they were young. We pray that our Lord will uphold you as you adjust to life without Jim. Love, Ragnhild and Bill Moyer
