The Mass and service was beautiful and lots of people were fortunate enough to come. John's eulogy was worm and truly captured what Bill's life was like and who he was as a man. The rain waited for everyone to get inside and Bill would be grateful for that. Grama I love you, and call me when you need me. I am never to far away for you. Should anyone reading this want more information about Bill’s service on Friday 10/26, please feel free to E-mail me at [email protected]. Bill was my one and only grampa, and I love him.
