Not sure what to say?

Dear Harriet
I never go by CCUM without thinking about Bill at the door with his huge smile
I look at the Chapel and remember playing Amazing Grace for him so many times
I do this almost every day and say a little prayer for you
Sending you lots of Love

I only knew Bill from the tennis courts but it was quickly obvious he was kind, good humored, and a gentleman through and through.
But, he did have a mean drop shot.
I wish I had been able to say this at the service, but I have difficulty speaking before strangers.

Bill was, and always will be to me, a man who showed the true spirit of a man who loved God. He showed everyone, by his total, continuous caring. Not to mention, the award winning smile. When I pass CCUM I think of Bill standing there. I send you my love and support.

We only knew Bill from tennis but it wasn't long until he proved what a gentleman and good humored human being he was. We will miss him.

Harriet, I consider you one of my biggest fans. Bill asked me twice if I was writing another novel--you wanted to know. That's twice as many requests as I ever got.

You were always full of cheer. It was a joy to know you. Best wishes to family. Gloria Smith

Bill was a special person who welcomed us every Sunday morning to the first service at Christ Church United Methodist. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.
