To Sheri, BJ and the entire Stoppelwerth Family:
I haven't known Bill for more than a few months, but he was a nice man, with a great sense of humor and honor. I enjoyed visiting with him and will miss him. Your entire family is in my prayers. He told me once that when his wife became ill, his world just stopped. I'm thankful that Bill is no longer suffering and is now at peace with the Lord.
