Uncle Bill,

I am so happy to have been able to spend so much time with you this year. I wish the circumstances were different. You have always been a hero to me. We will never forget you and your beloved, Dorothy.

Love,
Eileen

Eileen,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I know that my Mother, Auntie Bunny, Unlce Henry and Auntie Carol and Uncle Ed, all spoke fondly of your Uncle Bill. They have such nice memories of him and he will be missed. I also have kind memories of him, showing me how to use his xylophone. We stayed at his house on Merritt Island when we were young and he and Dorothy were gracious hosts. I know this is a difficult time for you, know that all of us are keeping you in our prayers.
