I am so sorry for your loss. Just seeing his picture brought back so many wonderful memories of time spent with Linda and her family. I wish I lived closer so that I could pay my respects and attend the funeral. I know this is a difficult time for the family, but I also know what a wonderful family this is and that you all have only fond, loving memories of the time you spent together. All my love, Jane Mathews Jabari.
We are all so sad on hearing of the passing of uncle Bill. One of my favorite memories of you two was the story mom (Franny) would share with us. As I write this, I hope it was true, as I know some of us , especially from this side of the family are slightly prone to exaggeration . But mom would tell us how after you and uncle Bill got married, you guys showed up in Rochester to let them know that you two eloped . I always thought how wonderful that was that you two loved each other so much that you ran off together, got married and started your life together! And, that you chose to come to Fran and Mauries to tell them of the start of your new adventure! As I said, I hope the story is true, but even if it's not, I have always loved the story. It was the start of a great adventure and wonderful life that produced such a great family !! We love you Aunt Nancy and all of my cousins. We will be praying for all of you. Love you, Rick and Kay
We are so sorry to hear of Uncle Bill's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
With our deepest sympathy...
John and Mary Beth (Smith) Bradley
