JoAn McFate Autry grandma9_6@q.com Hi Pauline, Beverly and Brent and families. Pauline, you have been such a wonderful wife and companion to a special man. I know that my parents and my brothers and sister and I have loved you both for many years. I wanted to go to the service, but I have a sinus headache. Bill had loving care and that is why he was able to live so long. May the Lord bless and comfort each of you. with love from JoAn
