Bill and Family,
I was sad to see of the passing of your wife and mom in the paper. It was always a pleasure running into to you together after our days at Chemung County Radio way too many years ago. What a wonderful couple you were. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

To all of the Stathams, please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. As difficult as this has been for all of you, I know there is was a receiving line in heaven inclusive of my parents, awaiting the arrival of your mom. And a what party they must have had. I hope the memories, of your wonderful and mom and all of the love and good times she showered on you will help ease your sorrow in her passing. Hugs!
