Karen-bill-tim….so sorry for your loss. it’s hard to let them go, but they’re off to a better place. I lost dad 3 years ago, it’s been tough. he would go with me to tractor shows and pulls, and auctions. mom passed away in January, so a lot of family history I can’t go to dad and mom to get. Lillie and me wish to give condolences, god be with you and your families.
