Words can hardly express the deep sadness we feel for Gail - although we are happy for Julian & his eternal resting in heaven, we still feel so badly for her. The 4 of us took an Alaskan cruise in 2005, where Gail & Julian were our witnesses to renewing ##imported-begin##Richard & Carol Stearman##imported-end##

I was a classmate with Julian, had lots of laughs! We met in Okinawa and had a visit; he in the Army and I in the Marine Corps. What a coincidence! Fond memories!##imported-begin##James M. Sellers##imported-end##
