    Jenny, Jeff & Nancy, My heart is so heavy about Bill. I wish I could be there with all of you, but I am there in spirit. I have so many great memories of Bill, both as a little girl, while growing up, and as an adult. He always welcomed me "home", no matter how long it had been since I last saw him, and had that great big smile on his face. I hope your memories will give you peace at such a tough time. I love you three very much. Stephanie

    Jenny and Jeff, Sorry to hear about your father's passing. I'm not sure if you both remember me or not, my maiden name was Lambert. I have often wondered where you both ended up and have thought about many happy times at church in the youth group. I would love to catch up with you sometime. Feel free to email me anytime. Again, so sorry to hear about your dad.
