Elsie, we are very sorry to learn of Tib's death; however, from what you had said it is a blessing. Life no longer had any meaning at all. Just know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I don't know if we can get to the service or not, but you know Bill is really sad about losing one of his friends. Lots of love from our family to yours.
