Jerry, Like Clayton, I remember you well from the Fort Lewis, Washington days with the Headquarters Company. Friendships included: Fudally, Zielsdorf, Clate and myself and a few times we took trips into Seattle, when off duty. I send my deep condolences to you and your family for the loss of your wife.

Gerald & Family, What a surprise. She was doing so well the last time we visited. I don't need to tell you that she and you, as well as the whole family, are in our thoughts and prayers. It makes us realize that life on this earth can be over at anytime. You and Cecilia are one of our close friends and we are happy we always tried to visit on our way to or from Superior. It has been a long friendship beginning together in the Wisconsin National Guard, Fort Lewis, WA, and then frequent visits. I will remember Cecilia's positive attitude even in her illness. May the Lord give you peace and welcome Cecilia into His loving arms. Clate & JoAnn Williams, Gig Harbor, WA
