The service for Bill yesterday was very nice. Cliff wanted you to know, Cheryl, that he always counted Bill as one of his true friends. He wanted to talk to you yesterday but knew he would cry if he did. Bill was a very good man and will be missed by a lot of people.

I wanted to offer my condolences and a comforting thought. John 3:16- For God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.
