Lois Schardin called me last night and as we talked she mentioned that Roy had passed on. I didn’t know! I can’t tell you how sorry I am. If I had known I would have come to his funeral. My heart goes out to you. If there is anything I can do, please call me. I know what it is like. Roy passed away two years and two days after Jerry.
I send you my love and, of course, my prayers, Ginny
