George, Sam and family, Bob and I are saddened to learn of Uncle Bethel's passing. He was such a sweet, gentle soul during all those times we had together at family gatherings. And, I'll always remember the time he visited us and we went to Dulles Airport to see the Concorde fly in. He loved it! I feel so sad that Bob and I cannot make the overnight trip to be at his funeral on Saturday. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Bob and Judy

George and Sam, My thoughts and prayers go out to you and know that Bethel is with Connie now. I really wanted to be there and serve as a pallbearer as I consider it to be an honor to escort someone to there final resting place. The snow started a 10:30 and it's one thirty now and still coming down. I always enjoyed Bethel when we would meet for birthdays etc. May God bless and keep you. Wallace & Alice
