Dear Lill, 
So sorry to hear about your husband's passing. My father was also a Veteran of WWII, but he passed in 1996 at young age of 75. Know your husband was a very talented carver of wood and made some lovely case goods for your home! Hope you are getting along ok and will miss the service due to a meeting in New Market on Sat., Aug 2nd(Colonial Dames of 17th Century- and am pres. of local group).
