William Lain Obituary


William "Bill" Lain

We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday,
And the days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping,
We have you in our hearts

Mary and Family,

Thank you for sharing Bill with us, I remember the many times Bill brought encouragement and a smile to our efforts. Bill was and is a class act.
