Praying God's comfort for all of those that knew and loved Bill. He was a warm and friendly person. Our prayer for Emily and Grace: "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you; the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace." Numbers 6:24-26

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your family, especially Emily and Grace, is in my prayers.

We didn't know Bill well but always enjoyed seeing him at the Walkers. He always made time to talk to us and we were glad of his friendship. He also made great banana bread which he shared with us. May God watch over Emily and Grace as they learn to live without their Dad. I know how tough that will be. Our sympathy and prayers are with all the Anderson family.

I'm happy that Billy and I were recently able to reconnect after so many years. He was one of the kindest boys in my St. Camillus class.
May the memories of Billy help you find peace.
