Cecil Anders was my roommate in Aston Park Hospital in 1968 and we exchanged letters a few times over the years. I’m sorry to hear that he has passed on. Also sorry to hear of Betty’s passing.
My sincere sympathy to the entire family at this time. Our church and community will be missing an special person for years to come.
