Frank and I would like to send our condolences. We were very fortunate to have had the chance to meet Bill and to have been able to spend a few hours together on the day following the storm. Bill was a wonderful person and he will be missed.

Dear Marge,
Many of us are thinking of you in this difficult and sad time. He was a presence in this town--as are you, even long after you were no longer doing your work for the town so faithfully.
And I missed the "Middle Rd" part and so was at the cemetery for a while and then it was too late. Sorry. I wanted to join in the farewell.
With love,
Donna
