What a great photo. I am so sorry to hear of Web’s passing. We had a long history together and I cherish an original painting he gave me. I won’t be able to attend the service, but he is on my mind and sending him happy trails.

I am just learning about Wib’s passing.y house has burnt in 2015 and we lost contact with each other. Wib was a very kind caring person. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his family.
