Not sure what to say?

We think of Bill and Gerry often. They were like brother and sister to us and Brenda and Candy like daughters. We miss them both and cherish their memory. Love Ray, Steve, Kevin and Greg Burnett

Brenda and Candy,

We are so sorry for your loss. I love your parents and have very great memories of our families growing up. I especially loved hunting with your Dad and mine. Your Dad was a great and true friend. It is with all happiness in Jesus that we know we will see him and your Mom again one day.

Love
Steve

YOUR FAMILY WILL MISS A TRUE GENTLEMAN AND TO A FAMILY THAT MADE SUCH AN IMPRESSION ON MY TEENAGE YEARS, MY CONDOLENCES. GOLDEN GIBSON

Brenda and Candy...we are sorry to hear of Bill going to be with the Lord. My many memories of our families spending time together while growing up are special. I always considered Bill and Gerry as family. Hunting and shooting our bow's as well as golfing have always been favorite memories of mine. I can say that there are 3 role models in my life that helped shape me into a Godly and loving person, my Dad...Bill...and Russ Skinkle. I will forever be grateful for God making them a part...

Brenda and family, I'm sorry for your loss. It's such a comfort to know he is with Jesus and your mother. What a homecoming!

Candy and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know how much your parents meant to your family. It was always a pleasure when we would be at lunch and see them out. They were always such happy people. They set an example for all of your families. I'm sure he will be deeply missed.


to Bills family
My heart goes out to all of you at this time. I have worked, laughed and sang with Bil and it was a happy time for me, now he will sing and laugh with his Lord, what a happy time.
In Christ

I am sorry to hear of your loss. Bill was a wonderful co-worker at Aeroquip, and made me feel so welcome there. Bill sang at our wedding, and there are songs which the voice I hear in my head when I think of the song is Bill's. Amy and I were so lucky to see him on our visit to Jackson in July.

My condolences to the family. Your mom and dad were always so kind to me in high school. I know you will nice him dearly. He is with your mom now and that is a happy thought. May God wrap his loving arms around you giving you comfort and peace. Cathy Foster
