Dear Jerry, Julie, David & Families – So sorry for your loss and that of our dear friend Bill. I remember the last time we spent the night with y’all in Apache Junction – think Bill and Ikey stayed up the entire night talking. God has probably given them a special room for all their chatter and laughter with no bedtime set. This is a time for sadness, but may the days ahead bring you joy and peace as you share in treasured memories of Bill - a kind, loving husband, father and grandfather who brought laughter as well to all.
With deepest sympathy and love,
Winkie
