William "Bill" Shockley

Dear Betty,

I just read in the Christian Chronicle about Bill's sudden death. I am so very sorry. He helped me many times at Red River Encampment and was always very cheerful. I know the void in your heart must be so painful.

Words are inadequate, but I hug you in my heart tonight. I pray that God will give you comfort as only He can.

Hugs from your friend, Dell Hoover

Betty,
I went to school with Bill and you in Mayfield and remember you both well...
I'm so sorry to hear of Bill's death. My thoughts are with your family and you...

Betty, it was a terrible shock to hear of your dear Bill's unexpected death. Until I actually saw this obituary, I could not believe it was true. I will pass the word to Nancy and Annita, and we will all continue to remember you and your family in our prayers. May God be your Comfort and Stay.

Betty,
I am thinking of you all every day and am praying for your family. I am so thankful to have been able to see Bill during the birth of his grandson. What fond memories that was and how special Daniel carries on the Mason name. We love you!

Alice, Joel and Lucas

Carrie and family,
I was so saddened to hear of your loss. While I didn't know Bill well, he seemed a wonderful and loving father and talented man through Carrie's eyes. My thoughts and prayers are with you. With Love, Jen Brockett

Betty,
I was so saddened to hear about the unexpected loss of your husband. My heart and prayers are with you and your daughters during this time. Words may not soothe you now, but my hope is that the incredible love of friends, family and your faith will gently carry you through this painful loss. God Bless you and your family. With deep sympathy and love, Carol

Dear Betty,
I was shocked and saddened when I received the news about Bill. My heart goes out to you and your family. May God bless and uphold you during this very difficult time.

Betty and children,
I will miss Bill greatly. Although we never met, we had a relationship "online" that I treasure. His generosity (he sent me a box of CDs, completely unsolicited) has made my daily life much better - I continually listen to the great music.
May our Father grant peace.

Betty, I was shocked to hear of Bill's death. I remember so many fun times we had in Mayfield. He was such a fun person and I know you are going to miss him. You are in mine and Lynda's prayers.
