Dear Lois,
We are SO sorry to hear about Bill's passing away. We live in Virginia now (to be closer to our kids) so we will be unable to attend the funeral, or we would surely be there. (I miss seeing you in Lins once in awhile). May the memories of your sweet husband be of comfort to you. Ed & Janice Bishop
