Dear Bill...I'm so greatful for the times we got to spend together. Even when you were in pain or at least uncomfortable, you were always sweet, quiet and uncomplaining. Sorry you hurt so much the past 5-6 years...but now you are back with Berdine and Ma. Two great ladies. I'll miss you.
Love Peg

Dear Uncle Bill,
I thank God for the gift of your life - for letting me be a part of your life. I pray that I grow old as gracefully and as lovingly as you did.
You are the finest person I have ever known.
Love, Amy
