Not sure what to say?

I remember William from Jefferson State when he married my vocal coach, Adrienne. We were all so happy for them.

Adrienne, I am so sorry for your loss. You were my vocal coach at Jeff State when you met Bill. I met my husband, Rob, there shortly after he returned from Vietnam. Rob died 9 years ago. No words can describe the change our lives undergo after losing our husbands. Your children and grandchildren will see you through. After reading the obituary, I was so impressed with Bill. He certainly was an amazing man who was a blessing to everyone who knew him. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

I am sorry to hear of Coach Langford´s passing. He was a friend and an encourager for me as a young coach. I had the utmost respect for him as a coach and more importantly as a fine Christian man.

Adrienne, I am sorry to read of Bill´s passing. May memories of your long marriage provide peace.

Hello, I am truly sorry for the loss of Coach Lankford. Coach gave me a scholarship when I graduated from high school in 1975 even though I didn´t play my Senior year because I transferred to another high school. I never remember seeing Coach get upset. He always had a calm demeanor even when he was wearing us out in practice. I´ll pray for supernatural peace and comfort during this time of bereavement for the family. Thanks Coach!

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your Bill. I don't know where you are, but I'll always love you. Jane

Coach Langford was First Class and always deserved full respect. Condolences to his family.

Coach Lankford encouraged me quite often in many areas. He is the one who sponsored me as a Gideon.
