Mary & Family,
My deepest sympathy to you all. May God rest Bill's soul and comfort yours at this time of great loss.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
