I cherish the childhood memories of times spent with the Gail family - Paul, Ilene, Ron, and Betty Joyce. They made me feel like a part of their family. It seems there was an unbreakable bond between those Ottumwans who moved to Des Moines in '46 - Betty Joyce was part of that bond.
Cling to the good memories, Ron, and may God grant you peace at this difficult time.
