June and Family
I often think of all the love and fun I felt at your home. Bill will certainly be missed but never forgotten. The Parsippany story and the LeRoy story make me smile on days when I really need to smile.
Much love to you and all. May you find peace in the belief that he was loved by many but most of all he loved all of you.
With much love,
Linda Dietz/Benner
We were very sorry to hear of your loss you are in our thoughts and prayers.
