To Bridgett and family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss of Yogi. I’ll always remember Yogi calling Vicki “SIS” as they did the kitty litter dance with their hands.

To Peggy and your family,
I’m very sad to hear about Bill’s passing. It seems like just yesterday we were all at Warren High School together. Even though I didn’t know Bill that well, he was your brother and that made him special. I pray that happy memories of Bill will bring you comfort and peace.
