Bill will always have a special place in my heart! Thank you for always watching over my precious parents. Bill came to the rescue every time they called. I will miss sitting near Bill's garden with my mayo and white bread waiting to make my tomato sandwich from vine ripened tomatoes. Thank you Bill, we will laugh more when I see you again. Oh keep (Dad) Frank in line for me. Love, Gloria & Robert.
