William M. Oakes

Butch - BIG hug from "me".

All of us in West Virginia are praying that God comforts you and gives you the strength that you need. We Love You. We wish we could be there to hug you. With Deepest Sympathy, The Bills

Bill was a wonderful friend at the Rescue Mission and so wise in the ways of the Lord. We had the best chats about life, nutrition, the Lord and organizational structure. He had so many interests and was such a kind person. While this is a terrible loss for his family and friends, it is also a loss to the Church here on earth. Bill loved the Lord with everything he had and has moved far beyond the tears, disapointments and physical pain of this world. To Deanna and his daughters, please know...

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family at this time. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Betty, be careful coming home to WV. We miss you:)

I shall always remember Bill as a reliable source of good advice, both professional and personal. I am a better person for having known him.

Deanna, You have been my sweet friend through difficult times. May God be with you and comfort you in this time of sadness. Love Always and Forever,

Bill's departure is very sad for you family members, and also for Faith Heritage. It was so wonderful to have him for the few months. He expressed so much joy when interacting with students and families. He was a great encouragement to Mr. Shaver and the rest of the faulty, staff, an board.

Dear Bob (Farmer) and Family... I am so very sorry for this great loss of your Dad. I know how much it hurts. With GOD just take each day as it comes... HE will get you thru, I promise. I hold you & yours in my thoughts & prayers in this most difficult time. With love & deepest sympathy, Charlene Bauer LaFleur & Family

Deanna, Em and Val,
You are all beautiful women of God. You're in my prayers. I love you all so much!
