Love the photos of undoubtedly places Toni and you visited. I know how much she enjoyed her final trip overseas, and I know that you are still grieving her loss. To say she was beautiful in spirit, beautiful in grace, and physically was exquisitely beautiful is understatement. I can still hear her voice and her laugh. She was a dear friend to me and I miss her and think of her so often. I also think of you and having been widowed at 43, I still feel that heaviness of heart, that hole in my chest that was empty. It takes a long time to get through it, but you never get over it. Sending warm regards to you, Bill.

Billy, we think of you often. Toni was a beautiful person. We are spread out all over this year.  We will go to Argyle (near Denton) to Brad and Kara's and kids, Adyson, 13, Ava and Judd, 11. twins. Erica and Grace, 24...like a dream, Everett, 14 until Jan 11, and Vance, 9, are going to Plano for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to her in laws. Then, they will come to Brad's the day after Christmas. Chris and Jackie and 4 boys, Jack, 18 until Jan 16, is a Freshman at Wabash College in Crawfordsville IN, Alex, 16, Elijah, 14, and Harrison, 6, are in Zionsville, IN will have her family for Christmas. We will go up the end of January if not too snowy. 

 Merry Christmas, Edwin and Cheryl

Gone but never forgotten on this day (5/4/2024).  Together for 45 years, she was more than I deserved.  I’ll see you soon, sweetheart!

Love always and forever, Bill
