Dear Amy and Girls,
I love you all. I know this was the hardest thing that you girls are going to have through. Amy, You are the strongest woman I know. I told you before that if it was me, I would never be able to stay strong like you did. To my girls: You both are strong, beautiful, intelligent girls and I know it doesn't seem like this now, but it will get better. My heart goes out to you and your family and if there is anything i can do, please don't hesitate to call me. I apologize that i missed all the serivces, I don't get the newspaper. I love you all and keep smiling because that is what Bill would want.

Amy, What an awesome angel you are. A strong woman, a loving wife. I will definitely miss Big Willy as I called him. I will miss the cookies he brought into the team. But there is another name I use to call him as well "Stone Cold Steve Austin". I'm blessed he's made an impression on all our lives. May God continue to strengthen you and the girls.

I'm so sorry for your lost of William. He was truly a wonderful person, kind, funny, and each day he would always make me laugh,and would always say "don't worry about it, it's fine. He certainly will be missed. He will always be the bright shinging star at night
