Wilfred's Death

Dear Family,
We got a message from Brian & Kathy informing us that Brian's dad, Wilfred, died this morning.  Brian & Kathy are in Amsterdam.  They had a State Farm trip to France.  They stopped in Germany and The Netherlands.  Please remember Brian, Kathy, and family in your prayers.  We were able to visit Wilfred two weeks ago when we were at Brian & Kathy for the weekend.  We had a nice visit with him.  The visitation is a week from Sunday, Aug. 9 and the funeral is Monday, Aug. 10.
