October 9, 2023 at 4:04 amDear John & Timmy, We will miss your parents. They loved watching our daughter grow and your mother was always so loving and kind to her. They raised both of you with lots of love. Your mom would love when you came over with the dogs! Dad kept a beautiful home and especially his lawn while mom decorated for every holiday! They are dancing in heaven holding Joey xo ♥️ RIP Joe & Rose

October 10, 2023 at 12:26 amDear John & Timmy,
Wishing you peace and comfort during this time. I can’t remember how many times I lost my keys and had to come to your parents house for the spare. I remember your Dad being on the quiet side, but always friendly, always wearing a key holder with a bunch of keys jingling from his belt. Mrs. Will would always say, “Jan.. now don’t forget to bring that house key right back to me!” Forever grateful for such an amazing and caring pair.
Love,
Jan
