Close family friend

http://boweses.blogspot.com/2005/10/old-times.html

We had many nice visits with Mr. and Mrs. Pavelka in Florida in the past few years. I particularly remember John playing mini golf with the boys.
May he rest in peace.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Smith and Pavelka families.
Brian and Elizabeth
