Dear Bettye, thanks for hanging in there you have the patience of a saint and I try the patience of a saint many would have given up on me. I will send off for the two marriage certificates that way Bill , yourself , and me can put our minds at rest till the next time. I will let you both know when I receive the certificates if that's alright.
