Bill, My wife saw the obit in the paper. WE, Dan and Meredith O’Connor, were the Ten Toe walking group that you and Melva were in a few years ago. We enjoyed knowing you both and your company on the walks with us.. We are sending our sympathy to you on your loss.
We read the obit on-line and she was certainly a wonderful woman, mother, grandmother, etc. Our prayers are with you. Regards, Dan
