Dear Nancy and Family,
So sorry that Bill has passed away. Remember all the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce meetings that Bill and I attended. We would have great discussion. In your life time, you wish you had spent more time with certain individuals and Bill would be on my list.
With Sympathy,
