Ramona and Dama, so sorry for your Dad’s passing…I know he is suffering no more and is with your dear Mom now in heaven! Praise God for this great man’s life and his service to our country !!!
Bobby was a neighborhood friend during the 1940’s near the airport. We were school mates at Bess T. Shepherd and Tyner Jr. High and Sr. High. I saw Carol and Bobby at each of the reunions held at Chester Frost Park. He will be missed now by his classmates, as Carol is. God bless your family in this time of grief. I cannot attend the graveside service because of a prior committment but will say a prayer for you tomorrow.
Sorry to hear of Bill’s death. May the memories of your happy family get to gethers over come your sorrows.
