Not sure what to say?

So sorry y'all, hope all is well.

Bill Andrews was my brilliant and most admired law school classmate. Bill and Shirley remained friends to me and my late wife Bessie for many, many years. Bill also served as the godfather to our older daughter Mary. I hope to see Shirley again, perhaps in the company of one of their children.

My sympathy goes out to the family during your time of grief. God's promise to empty out graves around the world in the near future is found at Hosea 13:14. It states,"From the power of the grave, I will redeem them,from death I will recover them.. until that time may your fond memories and this promise help you to cope with your loss.

"I am very sorry for your loss. May you have peace and strength through the power of prayer. Philippans 4;6,72"

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. May the family hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful life you shared together as you celebrate a wonderful life well lived and loved by family and friends.those who pass on God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. My sincere condolences to the family and friends during this difficult time of grief.Psalms 116:15.(GP)GA...

We will not be able to get to Concord by 11 a.m. On Sunday. However, Mary & plan to attend a memorial service at the war memorial on the Amherst campus at 9 a.m. tomorrow (Sunday) and represent the Andrews family. Mary has been talking with '52 classmates all weekend about what a "wonderful brother" Bill was.
Our love, Tom & Mary

What a wonderful man, and what a great legacy he has created!

My deepest sympathies to the Andrews family for the loss of William. May God's Word strengthen you during this difficult time (Psalm 147:3).
