Candy, he is home now to stay. I know you and I will see him again one day.I knew he was saved as I've heard him pray. He will probably have a stand set up selling used angel wings. God Bless you Candy

Candy, Bill was one of my best friends. With his passing I have been lost for words. I know the loss of a sister and parents, but through the grace of God, not my child. I can't imagine your pain. Though I am assured we all feel that his pain and suffering are relieved. God and Grandma watched over Billy his entire life. He is with her now, and she is keeping him close and walking a staright line. I can close my eyes and hear Grandma saying, "Billy, you dont need to go out tonite, Stay here!" Billy would bow his head, and while grinning and winking at me say "I have to take Harris somewhere and I'll be right back."

Jason & Justin,
As parents we are not always perfect but, the one perfect thing your father did was love you with all his heart. You both have been part of my life for years and always will be. Always there for you.

I will always be indebted to Bill for giving me two wonderful step-sons. You cannot give another person a better gift. We(Dana and I) will always remember you and be thankful. Our prayers go out to all of Bill's family and friends.

Debbie, Sorry for your loss. Bill was the love of your life and you of his. I truely believe that you two were soul mates. Though good times, hard times, and thick and thin your love always brought you and Bill back together. When everyone else gave up on him, you stood by him like a great wife should. He told me so. Debbie, Bill made that home for you and him to start over in. He will be there in spirit and we know he is with the Lord. He loved you with all of his heart.
We love you and remember we are here for you.
