Guestbook

  1. Mrs. Hill & Jeff, I don’t know if you remember me but I was friends with Jeff when you lived in BF. My parents always talked fondly of mr. Hill. My condolences and prayers are with both of you in this time of need. Mr. Hill is now with both of my parents and they are probably discussing Beaver County. It’s been over 40 years since I have seen you but think of you often. Duane Moore
