Jim and Beth, Al and I have many special memories of your Mom and Dad through the years.
I especially shall remember the support and love shown me while growing up in the Sand Hill Community. Oh, what talents both of your folks possessed!
And, then, there comes a time when we have to let go, but with lots of good memories.
Our love and sympathy to you and your family.
