I am praying for your family my dear friend. We were classmates and at one time very close. I remember you myself and Val Bacon use to have parties together. We grow up move away and grow apart. My heart is heavy and I'm praying for your children, grandchildren and family. When you reach heaven tell my mom I send my love . Rest well old friend...until we meet again.
