Elsie and family
Our sympathies for your loss. My mother always told me what a great guy Billy was to her and what an important person he was to the family.
May you find comfort from your family and friends. (And I do see the family has grown quite a bit.)

Elsie,

Joe called and told me about Bill's passing. I want you to know how sorry I was to hear from Joe about this sad news. Please accept Faye and my condolences. We are still in Florida and won't return North until July.

Bill was a great cousin especially to Jack. He and Bill were such great friends.
