I am so sorry for your loss. May you gain much strength and comfort by pouring out your deepest emotions to God in prayer.

Adrienne, we are so sorry for your loss. We were shocked at the news of his passing. Bill will sorely be missed by many. He was so passionate about his work. May your heart soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Adrienne,

I am so sorry for your loss. I know he was the love of your life. I loved seeing you and Bill going on your dinner dates together. You will forever have those loving memories in your heart.
