Saddened at this news but know Bill and Betty will be together again as it should be. I babysat Mike and Susan so very long ago. Years later, l would run into Bill when l was working as he sat with his coffee group and always shared greetings and often Betty at their home if l had that route. Rest well , together.
Mike, Lisa & Family, Our sincere condolences to you all. Bob & Taryn
