Aunt Betty, Brenda, Billy & Brian,



Memories are valued treasures that live within your heart.

Precious times spent together will help heal the pain of being apart.

Never will you be alone, God walks each step by your side.

Believe and trust in Him and forever Christ will be your guide.



It's never easy losing a loved one but it's extremely difficult letting go of a loved one so close to Christmas. May God comfort all of us knowing that Uncle Bill is spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. You're in my daily thoughts & prayers and may you find peace, hope and love from our Savior above. May God bless you today and always.



We Love You!

Bob & Judy Murray

Dear Betty,



We're saddened by the news of Bill's passing. Thankfully we can share this hope: "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."



We love you and are praying for you and your family.



By His mercy,

Rocky & Carla Jones
