I am so heartbroken of the loss of Bill. I am so blessed to have been able to be a part of him and Lela's life for an entire year. We shared lots of great memories, laughs and he felt like a dad to me. We definitely shared a special bond! I'll miss him very much. Love and hugs to everyone in the family that showed me such kindness. I'm so sorry for your loss. Heaven gained another angel to watch over all of us. Such a kind, sweet and generous soul!
