reunions
I just want to express my sorrow to Joe’s family,and to let you know that his high school classmates share in your loss.
Pete and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. It isn’t fair that people are dying so young. My only child, a son named Billy Stranges, age 25, died on 9-19-00. He slipped on a wet rock, fell backwards and fractured his skull, broke his neck and severed his spinal column. Life isn’t the same anymore. I will keep you in my prayers and hope God gives you the comfort you need at this time.
With deepest sympathy to my friend and classmate of Bellaire High School 1969,our prayers are with you and your family.
Michael,Rosalie,Clara,Robert
