Hi Marge,
So sorry to hear about Bill. My first thought was, I wonder if my Mother has heard yet (and she's been gone 14 years). We won't be able to be at the service, but know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We hope to see you soon.
Love, Jerry and Sally (Knuth) Davis

Bill was a great friend, we had some great times when we all lived in Florida. Bill always had a good story or toast. Bill's passing will leave a big vacancy in my life.
