Uncle Bill...a gentle(man)of God who loved his Savior and went thru life as a man of integrity, witt, honor and Heavenly love towards others. Bill had a way keeping a calm atmosphear while he chatted with you. He made you feel special. Because to Uncle Bill, you were special. Chrissy Poo-Poo will miss you.

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.

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.
