Not sure what to say?

I spent many a years with the Schuler family and Bill was always kind, thoughtful and caring towards me. I miss the good times we all had together. Cindy and I were friends in school and you never forget the parents of your best friends. Love you Cindy and Brenda, trust in the Lord for he will get you through this difficult time of sorrow and bring you everlasting peace.

Cindy, so sorry for your loss.
