Praying for peace that passes understanding. Bill was truly blessed with a wonderful family.

“He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.” Psalm 62:6-8

George, Anna, & John, We are so saddened by this great loss. We enjoyed Bill's company so many times when he was young. He was the only 4 yr old I knew who could tell 20 minutes straight of knock knock jokes on the way to a Sunday School outing. Not having any children of our own we are thankful for the opportunites you afforded us to spend with Bill at ball games, pizza suppers, ice cream, etc. We want to encourage you with I Peter 1:7 "That the trial of your faith being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise , honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ"
