I am so sorry to hear this, I was just talking about Larry and Tillie and how much I miss seeing them at Beechies every Friday night. Larry and my dad (Bob Freno) worked at the mill together and were good friends. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Please let Tillie know I am thinking of her in this difficult time.
