William Arthur I can hear your voice now and saying Jeanne in your deepest country voice. I just hugged you about a week or so ago and who knew. And, how you ask Chase when you saw him If he could still put his foot on his chin which you were so amazed by that. You were the best husband to my aunt Jeanne and her girls. You have made such a difference in everyones life. Your quick wit and saying funny things off the cuff always had us laughing. You loved your family so much and being there for your grandchildren. I was heartbroken to learn of Buds passing. Praying for you and your family that you may find a way to heal. We love you so much. Good bye for now until we all meet in the other side!! We love you so much!!
