I worked at Dinkes as a secretary for 12 years in the 70s. I got to know Bill and Linda very well. I met Jill, Jody and Jamie and parties, and I cannot imagine what they are feeling now. I am so sorry for your loss.

Billy you left us much too soon. As Linda's first cousin, I knew you most of my life. I danced at you're wedding and I was just 16 when Jill was born. Now both of you are gone. Rest in peace. To Jill, Jodi and Jamie. Heartfelt condolances. May the closeness of the three of you, and you're families sustain you during this terrible time.
Love,
Cousin Francee
