William Lain Obituary
William "Bill" Lain
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
Bill, 64, passed away January 13, 2011. He was born January 28, 1946, La Crosse, Indiana.
