I need to contact some of the children. I have come across pictures of their Mother Florie from high school that I would like to send to them

I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you all. May the Lord wrap his arms around you and comfort you through this time of sadness and loss.

Bill will always hold a special place in the hearts of his friends in the food industry. He was a friend, a mentor and a confidant. His smile lit up a room and he was loved and respected by so many people. We will miss you dearly. I am a better person for knowing Bill and may you now find peace with your beloved Florie.

When someone we love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. Therefore, treasure the special times spent with your loved one-draw strength from the love of family and friends-and may God's word and his loyal love comfort you and help you through this difficult time. Psalms 119:50,76
