Dear Julie,
I shall always remember conversations with you and your husband. He finally nicknamed me "Ma Bell" (after Southwestern). Be assured that God will shower you and your family with many blessings, and don't forget your many happy married years.
Much love, Beatrice "Bea" Bell

Wil was my scoutmaster and taught me so much about camping and the outdoors. His son, Robert, was my best friend and best man. My favorite memory was working together with him and his son to revamp his workplace at Elgin Water Softeners.
