We rode bikes together and spent many hours cooking out up on the hill in Virginia.

It is so sad to miss a sweet neighbor like you. It is just like a dream to us. But really God loves His children more. Mr Bill, as we call you. You have fought the good fight when you were with us, now you are with the Lord our God. Mr Bill, rest in perfect peace.

Uncle Billy, this is still so hard to believe that you're gone. We are truly going to miss you! You always kept us laughing and would liven up any room you entered. I can still hear your infectious laugh so clearly. Although we can find some comfort in knowing that you are in a better place with God, it doesn't take away the sadness we feel and we will miss you, still.
