My very sincere sympathy to Juanita, Joyce and Jan for the loss of your brother. God bless and keep your favorite memories.
Joyce, Juanita, Jan: My the love of family and friends bring you peace and comfort! A flood of memories came back to me of our days as kids when all the cousins would get together in Eldora at Gr’ma and Gr’pa’s house. Everyone taking his and her turn cranking the handle to make homemade ice cream. More recently I had a nice chance to visit with Bruce at our reunion in Des Moines. Keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers! Bill and Sue
