Dear Billy,

We are saddened to hear of the loss of Tim and Loretta. I remember how much Loretta loved the kids in the neighborhood and would always give them candy. Our kids will always remember that. Your brother Tim was always very nice and would say hello when he was up visiting. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
