Not sure what to say?

I met Bill over 20 years ago when my company partnered with Bill's company at the time, man he was one impressive salesman. Smart, funny, knew his products inside and out and people were captivated by him. We got to be friends and stayed in touch for some years after. He invited me to his wedding which I was honored to attend. I pray that his family eventually find their way and relish the memories they have of Bill. Bill's passing is another one of those life events that hollows you out, I...

I met Bill when we worked together at a grocery store while teenagers. While I was in college I came out to him, and was terrified of what he would say, and that I would lose his friendship.

My sincere condolences to Brett and all of your family - I'm so sorry for your loss. Tanya Reeder

While we may never understand God's ways, we do know that he's not in any more pain and he rests in the arms of Jesus and our father God...

Thank you for your very brave service to our country ! God bless you

Ingrid, Oliver, and Maddy, Holding you close in thought and prayer. I hope all of your precious memories will provide comfort during this difficult time.
