Anita and family - So sorry for the loss of Bobby , Am not sure I ever met him would have thanked him for his service in the US Navy. My husband Duane Siders served in the Navy. I am from the Richvalley clan daughter of Laura and Walter Jr Coldren. Glad to see you have had a long time together. Hope it was a happy adventure. Unfortunately unable to attend the service I have a Dr appointment I cant reschedule.
