Norma & Family,
Deepest condolences at this difficult time. Take comfort in knowing that Bill will be waiting for us on the far side banks of Jordan. Instead of drawing pictures in the sand he will be trying to hit his golf ball out. He is playing the best game he has ever played and will be missed here but we will see him soon.
