Elaine, Eric and Neil,
We are so very sorry for your loss. Over the years we had many happy times with Bill. Many a birthday dinner, picnic, cook out etc. We had many laughs. We will always remember the big smile Bill had for everyone. Remember the happy times, I know there were many, they will give you peace. May God give you the strength you need to get through this difficult time. God Bless.
Love and Prayers,
