So many memories of your whole family. We wish we could be there for the service but know you will be in our thoughts that day. In my mind I still can hear your parents singing in the choir at Fifth. They always had their whole heart in every song. This spot to write is not big enough to list all the memories of each of you Joe, Susie, Bill Kathy and David. Your parents loved all of you so much and they will be miss on this earth.
