There will be a memorial service to be held at a later time at Otterbein Lebanon. To Mildred: Many times I've needed you, and many times I've cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place, no one else will ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, but you did not go alone. A part of me went with you, the day God called you home. Your precious memory is my keepsake, with which I will never part. Darling, God has you safely in his keeping, I have you forever in my heart. From Bill.
