Dear Betty and family,
We are very sorry to hear of Billy’s death. Leonard was very
interested and felt a closeness
to his cousin Billy. As you know Leonard died 2 years ago next week, July 27,2001. But thru the years he spoke of his cousin Billy and his wife Margie often.
We are so sorry that we were unaware of Billy’s death, or we would have been at the funeral.
Nina is 97 now and lives at The Laurels of Summit Ridge on Riceville Rd near the VA Hospital.
Love and Prayers
Nina, Gene and Joan Johnson
