My thoughts and prayers are with you all! I have fond memories of Bill and Sue growing up and being able to see them the past few years again. I know he is at peace and not in pain anymore. I am out of the country and won’t be able to pay my respects. Hug Sue for me, Deanna! ❤️

Bob, Deanna, Meredith, Sue and families, I’m so sorry for your loss. I am stuck in Tulsa due to work or I would be there Tuesday. Please know that you will all be in my thoughts. If there is anything I can do when I get to KC, please let me know.

Bob and Melissa, My deepest sympathy to you and your entire family in the loss of your father. No matter their age, it is so difficult losing a parent as we are seldom ready for their death. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
