Dear Maryellen (and Dot),
My heart goes out to you on losing your precious Bill. (Wasn't Bill the best name of all!) I was so pleased to hear from you this morning but sad to know what you had to tell me. I have great comfort in knowing that our two Bills are now totally healed and meeting each other in heaven while we continue to share with each other here on earth. Though life will never be the same without them, we have a loving God who will give us the strength and comfort to face each new day. Glory to Him for his perfect plan of salvation. You are in my prayers.

We will miss him and our prayers and hearts are with Maryellen and the family. We always could count on Bill for whatever, and now he is in a better place. We will take our love to Maggie as much as possible and love and be here for Maryellen forever.

We love you and will always be here for you. Kiss Maggie for us and God will take care of Bill now.
Love Diana, Lora and Zeke
