To Bill's family- it took me a while to grasps it but I am able to send my condolences for such a great loss. I remember Bill growing up as he was in one of my sister's class (year) and the neighborhood hang out included him. I also shared The Intercessory Prayer Ministry (NLC) with him as well as we biblically studied GOD's WORD and supped at IHOP- Jeff Ave. spot... with the crew... the small group ministires will never be the same... if we can be of any assistance- do not hesitate to ask. I used to help him in many areas due to his ailments, but GOD handle them all!
love in CHRIST,
Sheila Purcell (Barfield)

Mr. William and I met when he moved in next door to me. He was truely a gentleman. It took a while for him to catch up with me and introduced himself. I looked forward to seeing him sitting in his chair with the blinds open in the morning (6:45am) before I left for work. I asked myself why was he up so early in the morning, but I really felt good and safe having someone watching over me that early in the morning. I'm and the residents of Silk Tree Place are going miss Mr. William, he was truely a Servant of God. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in the time of your loss.

To the family, Bill was an overcomer and a SERVANT of God who put others first. He had to be told to take a rest. Personally, we had several years of unbeatable friendship with much in common. He was full of wisdom. I watch how he allowed God to take him to a higher level.

He is with the Lord. The word says to be absent from the body is to be in the presence of the Lord and believe me, he is in heaven. I will truly miss my brother.

It is with heartfelt prayers for the family that I extend my condolences.

William and I shared the same homeroom teacher at GW Carver High for 4 years. I will always remember William as a kind, sweet, loving gentleman.

Likewise, may the peace of God comfort you as you reminisce over the good times you've shared with him.

Praying your strength in the Lord.
