Charlene, we are so sorry to hear about the passing of Bill. You were his “Angel” on how well you took care of him. The good “Lord” will take care of him now. We send our love and hugs to you along with our condolences. Our hearts go out to you.
I will always remember such friendly conversations years ago with Bill and Charlene. I will never forget when I was a struggling college student around 1970 that Bill gave me $20 to help with my expenses. that was a lot of money back then, and have thought about him and his thoughtfulness over the years.
