Prayers for you and your husband in the loss of someone so very special.
May God be with you all!
And may Tillie rest in peace now in reunion with her beloved in the very presence of God!

We have my parents letters for the entire time dad was in the service...over four years. South Pacific: New Caledonia, BEEack. Army Aire Corps Supply depot. Came out as a Major.
They wrote daily, but received them in various order, so they are numbered....The trunk is under a sofa table. Dad keeps thinking we’ll get into it, but those I’ve brought out puts him in a funk...It’s just too hard on him.
THose leters are our treasures.

I remember those times. We had many cousins in the Pacific. One cousin lost 2 ships he was on. We wrote silly letters telling them whatever came to mind that has funny.Mom and our aunts sent many baked goods and other things. One cousin wrote the fruit cake arrived sometime in late spring, I remember that. He saved it and brought it back, it was like a brick and still had mold on it. Yes, in those days Americans were “all in the war and war effort”.

You’d be surprised what you can do, Billie. When times are tough, tough people rise to do what’s necessary.
