Not sure what to say?

Dear Susan, Jon and Sam,
I am so sorry for your loss. Not sure you will remember Nate and me but you all touched our lives for life when we met you in Austin in the mid 90's. God's comfort and blessings to you and know that I am praying for you. Much love, Stephanie Morton

Susan, I am so sorry. I love you. Please pass my condolences on to Elizabeth for her loss of Uncle Billy.

Susan, Jon and Sam,
Bill's smile is how I will remember him. From the first day I met this amazing man he always helped me with the smallest to the largest things.

When Kyle Covington from the Austin Marriott North called Bill concerning hiring me, Bill told him he would regret it if he did not hire me. Since that day I would always go out of my way to say thank you or simply give him a hug to show my appreciation.

I wish he really knew how much so many people...

Susan,
Bill was such an awesome guy and had such a passion for Round Rock and his projects. I always enjoyed visiting with him. He will be greatly missed.
May God continue to bless you and your family.

Bill, Susan, Jon and Sam at one of Bill's favorite places in the word, besides Italy - the beach at the el Presidente hotel in Cozumel. I will always remember him exactly this way -- Don Martin

Dear Susan,

Like the New Testament leader who was nicknamed “Barnabas,” Bill was an energetic encourager. He was not only a loyal friend; he has been a passionate advocate of our ministry for decades. Bill was what the Apostle Paul called a “cheerful giver” in every sense of the word. He was not only generous in his financial support of a wide variety of local charities and global...

Dear Susan, Jon and Sam, May God bless you and hold you through these difficult times. I pray that each day brings more peace to you. Bill has left a beautiful light on this earth. Fondly, Kathy Street

Billy and I grew up together a long time ago in Catania, Sicily. I send my most sincere condolences to everyone in the Smalling family and most especially to Billy's wife and children. To Jack Smalling I can only say that my family will keep you all in our prayers. To Richard and Jeanne I can only say that I feel as though my baby brother is gone. His memory is frozen in my brain, as are you all. God Bless.

Susan,
I did not know Bill and I know you through the Mary Susan Lewis Scholarship activities. I wanted you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
