Dear Sally and Girls,
Bid was a special man, husband and father. He was always helping us with projects at Central High School (drill team), fund raisers, car washes. He would always be in the stands on Friday nights. God has a mansion waiting for you.
Oh Liz thank you for reminding me of days gone by that were so precious. May God bless you.
