Hello Dee and your loving family. I was so sorry to hear of the sadness of Bill passing on. And even more so about your son Bill. It's been so long since I'd seen any of you. Bill Hill was in town and told me about your grief. He was down here laying his brother Carl Hill to rest. Well if there's anything I can do for you please let me know. Again in so saddened for your loss. Here is where you could reach me. 937-371-2268. God bless you my friend.
