It was so lovely to meet you when Kelsey, Karen and I drove down to Bacliff from San Marcos. The visit was short but you left a lasting impression on me. You were warm, welcoming and so loving. Thank you for the legacy you leave behind! Rest easy.
Bill, so sorry to hear about Peg.
She will be missed dearly.
Stay strong!
