We often think about your mother and dad. Pat and Bill were wonderful people to be with. We bowled in St. Teresa’s couples bowling league for many years – every other Saturday evening. Often we would then go to Carmassi’s for fish sandwiches.
As you age, you become more reflective, screening out bad and embracing good memories. We had moved here from Cleveland in September, 1963 leaving all our family and friends back in Ohio. Our daughter Deby was 10 and our two sons, Rick and Ron, were 6 and 4, respectively. We made new friends and were blessed that we met and shared portions of our lives with Pat and Bill. They were so easy to like and our kids were roughly the same ages.
Greg, we always inquired how you and your family were doing. We grew up in Barberton, not too far from where you were living.
Celebrating their lives,
Joan and Dick Wehling
Helbling Family,
Deepest sympathy on loss of your mother. It was a pleasure to have known her from Green Valley. I was a member of St. Margaret,s Golf League.
