Thank you for your friendship of 60 years. From the times of being neighbors on Krieger Street in Oceanside, Ca to when distance was inevitable. We could always call each other and our conversations would always be wonderful. Now you have gone home to be with Bill and Our Lord and Savior. You will be missed
Love Arlene and Randy Swan
