Although its been years I still think of you and remember the time we were lying in your bed eating snacks waiting for morning when we were meeting the “boys” coming home. I am so sorry for your loss after all these years you and Billy shared together. I am sure he will be waiting for you!
Keeping you in my thoughts
Nancy
Sincere condolences to the family, from Dana Inc., Pottstown Plant.
