Follow-Up on Mr. and Mrs. Massamore
It is now approaching the 65th anniversary of this couple...my precious grandparents. It is with regret that I report he passed away this morning just 6 days before their anniversary. It is truly a blessing for each of the family to have this preserved recording as a dedication to their love for each other and their family. Thank you again
