Aunt Trish, I will truely miss uncle Bill and remember him forever. He is no longer in pain and is in a better place. I just know he is in heaven handing out handing out dollar bills to all the little ones up there and kicking back with Dale. I'm so sorry that I could not make the services. If there is anything you need please call. I am just 10 minutes away.

~Love, ~Toni~
