I was at the service for Bill today. My dad, Frank, sat at the dining table with Bill, and I was lucky enough to get to know him a little these past few months. What a nice guy, and such a good sense of humor. I'm so sorry for your loss. The longer my dad is in the home, the more I feel like his table-mates are family. I will miss Bill. God bless you as you mourn his loss, and I pray you will be at peace knowing he is in God's care where we will all be some day.
