    Cousins – Joy & Billy,

    Uncle Bill – wow! Haven’t connect in a long… while ~ but, both of us and our family have very fond memories of our Memorial Day picnics that Millie & Bill hosted each year.
    We have pictures and smile whenever we see them – they were the “good old days”!!

    Good to see you both – recently and to get caught-up on the many changes in “golden years” and to know all are doing well.

    Uncle Bill lead a nice.. long… good life and had, Joy, around to give him comfort during his final months…. etc.

    Fondly,
    Cousin, Bev & Jim
