Have been in touch with Bo's sisters both Ginger and Sug. They attended the services and said that it was a beautiful service, and that Bo would have been pleased. Bo had suffered with PTSD for many years, had lost part of a leg to diabetes. His health had not been good for past few years. We had talked for over an hour about 2 months ago. He loved his children dearly, and was particularily close to his daughter Laura. And was a wonderful grandfather.
Fondest of memories of Bo and I at AG, and then at MPHS.....RIP my sweet William Lander, I am comforted knowing that you are in Peace and no longer in pain. XO..
