Wish I would have had more time to get better acquainted with Bill. I liked everything I knew about him and enjoyed what time I did spend with him. He was the love of my niece's life and he will be missed.

Lee and family, it has been my honor to be of some small help the last few days. No one who hasn't been there can know how you feel now. Susan and I are holding you in our hearts as we know the pain, and will gladly be here for you if you need us.

Dear Family of my friend Bill,
I cannot make the services but I want you to know how sorry I am for your loss. Bill and Sherri were friends for many years and I loved them both. I saw Bill a few days before he left us and am so glad I spent a few munets with him and got a hug before I left. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you at this very hard time.
