To the very special ladies at Pacific Bowling Lane, you meant so much to me, all the laughs and silly times we had, I have treasured them in my heart. You even hung in there with me after I retired from bowling at age 95. And to my dear, dear friends that I loved and cherished so much, you made my life so rich and bright and beautiful, Thank You Beyond Words. And a Special Thank You to my dearest of friends Judy, Sonja and Girly Girl. Arrangements by Tuell-McKee Funeral Home, online guest book at www.tuellmckee.com
