Jane,
I am sorry to learn of your father's passing. He was a wonderful man, from what I learned from you. You spent special times with him that will be cherished and offer strength in times of sorrow. I'm sure he was proud of you and all you have done, but most importantly your gentle, caring heart that guides you. I will keep you and your family in prayer.

Perhaps Psalm 121 will offer some comfort to your soul:
" 1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth"..

Dear Barbara & family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I enjoyed working with Bill during the 19 1/2 years I was at Phillips-Hall, Inc. I know that God will get you through this difficult time. Bless you always.

To the Snoddy Family-

Please accept my condolences on Bill's passing. He was my Sunday School teacher when I was about 12, and he made it a point to teach us boys to be self-confident: how to shake hands and look the other person squarely in the eye. This gave us a much-needed shot of self-esteem!

Martha, I always treasured our friendship, and I'm so glad you developed your singing talents. I know that made your Dad proud.

So, to Barbara, Janie, and Martha, as well as the extended family which was always so close-knit and loving, you have my deepest sympathy.

Barbara and family,
We extend our sincere condolences -- Bill always had a ready smile for all neighbors and we all enjoyed his wonderful stories -- we will sincerely miss our 'Mayor of Newport Drive'.
