MAY BILL REST IN THE LOVING ARMS OF OUR DEAR LORD
SYMPATHY FOR YOUR SORROW. EILEEN DOWNING

July 15, 2015

Fear Hickey Family,
I feel great sadness over the loss of Bill; Brother, Father, Grandfather and friend.
I had the honor of being one of the team members from Home Instead; and he was always a gentleman and he never complained.
May you feel some comfort knowing so many people cared about him and his well being.
I know how much he loved his family, he talked about all of you with loving care.
May God shower you with strength during this time of sorrow.
With sincere regrets,
Terri Beale
