    To The Hyde Family

    I was so very to hear of your great loss. I remember Bill from many years ago. I hope it is of some comfort to know that others care.

    To Judy and Pat: My father and your dad worked together at Midland Steel when we were just kids. Our parents were close in friendship. My brother became a friend of your late brother Jack. Later I married Chuck Yesberger who worked with Bill at N.A.S.A. I would see Billy as we called him around town. I had hoped you moved to a retirement home together when I saw you were selling your home.
    We just don’t know the last chapter of life and unfortunately we became the group of 80 year olds. God be with you.

I pray God will comfort you with those special memories shared with him. It was a pleasure to have known you both these past few years and you will always be remembered for your kindness to me and Mom. Again my heartfelt sympathy in your great loss. My love and friendship, Sharon and Mom, Mary.
