My thoughts are with you
Dear Shirley,Leslie,and Holly,
I just read of the passing of a dear man your husband and father Bill.
He was always smiling and waving in passing by, he kept an immaculate yard. It's such a hole in our hearts to lose someone so near and dear, no matter how old or what condition. Just know he is up there watching over with his best pal Billy by his side. Sending love and condolences to you.
