Dear Thelma and family,
I´m so sorry for your loss. I always loved listening to Bill´s adventures and I respected him very much. He was very talented and charismatic at selling cars and he taught me a few valuable lessons about sales. He was a very nice man. I´m sorry my condolences are so late. I´m sure you know Ive been out of the loop. I´ve thought of you and Bill very fondly over these past years and I pray you´re well.
God Bless You.
Love, Sheila Goddard
