Bill Andrews was my brilliant and most admired law school classmate. Bill and Shirley remained friends to me and my late wife Bessie for many, many years. Bill also served as the godfather to our older daughter Mary. I hope to see Shirley again, perhaps in the company of one of their children.

My sympathy goes out to the family during your time of grief. God's promise to empty out graves around the world in the near future is found at Hosea 13:14. It states,"From the power of the grave, I will redeem them,from death I will recover them.. until that time may your fond memories and this promise help you to cope with your loss.
