Dear Uncle Bill: It has been a long time since we've seen each other; my girls are all grown in in college (except Dani) and aspiring to lead successful lives. Even though we lived our lives many miles apart, you were always close to my heart. My fond memories of you when I was a child happily smoking your pipe; fun times at Christmas; your beautiful smiling blue eyes!! I know that you are an angel in heaven now and in a very happy place. Love you forever!!

I have the fondest memories of Mr. Hathaway from Zion church and wish to pass along my heartfelt condolences to his family and the Zion congregation. Rest in the knowledge that he has gained his heavenly reward for his earthly trials. I'll remember him every time I go afield and see deer or turkey.
Very respectfully
