Lola, I was so sorry to hear about Bill. I didn't know him that well but after 49 years together it is difficult cope with such a loss. He is in a better place now, no pain and looking down on you and everyone. You have all those 49 years of memories that no one can take away. Again my sincere sympathy goes out to you. Mike

Lola,
I am very sorry for your loss. I did not know your husband personally. His father and my father (Homer Anderson) were friends. Hopefully, you can take comfort in those who surround you at this time.
