In Loving Memory
Dear Jo, We were so sorry to hear of Hal's passing. It may have been an act of kindness for him, but certainly not for the rest of us. He will be sorely missed, not only for his bridge expertise, but for his wit and charm as well. We are very sorry, but we can't attend the Memorial Service due to a prior commitment. Our prayers are with you. Our deepest sympathy, Bene and Ruth Benefiel

Jo, I was so sorry to read of Hal's passing. He will surely be missed, especially at the bridge tables. I always enjoyed playing bridge with him and of course you. Hope to see you soon at one of our bridge games. Luana Chapman
