With my sympathies to Bill's Family -

Dear Bill and Elaine... How sorry I am to hear of your loss. Billy would do about anything for anyone in need. He begged me once to come live with him to get out of the abusive relationship that I was in. The guy was amazing and his smile could light up an entire room. He will be greatly missed by many. He looked so good the last time I saw him with my mother at Wal-Wart. Remember, Elaine? I knew him and she knew you. She (Marilyn) sends her condolences as well. I'm going to miss Billy Mo...

Elaine & Bill, I am so sorry for your loss. Billy brought you much joy. I hope you can find peace and comfort, that children are on loan to us as a gift from heaven, when God needs them he calls them home. I'm sure he is having a great visit with Paul & Opal and probably Bess too.. My thoughts and prayers will always be with you...

I will miss Billy Mo. He was a good friend. My heart goes out to you all who were friends and family.

I will miss Bill deeply. There are no words to descibe a personality as vibrant and loving as Bill. Bill lit up the town with a million dollar smile wherever he was and the world will be a different place without him. To my Faternity Big Brother, and my friend....God speed and all my blessings.

Mirinda,

I am truly sorry for your loss. Bill was a very funny guy, never had a bad thing to say about anyone, made friends with everyone he met, he always stood up for the weak, no matter who they were or even what the circumstances were. He will truly be missed by all who knew him.
There will never be a dull moment in Heaven, that's for sure!!

I am deeply deeply saddened by the loss of my fraternity brother Bill. His influence on my life will forever be rememebered not only by me, but by my parents as well. We all extended our deepest heartfelt prayers to you and your family. I will miss him forever

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
