Dear Fred and Lucy, and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Very sad news indeed. He endured so many loved ones leave the room before him with grace. I so admired Mr. May’s wit, gentleman’s charm and of course his jokes! I always look up from the beach expecting to see Mr. and Mrs. May waving from the bank of their cottage as I swim or walk by. I’ll keep waving. Love and courage to the family from all the Heflins.
