Dear Louise,
We are so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. We were away this past week and could not attend his services. Please know that we were there in spirit for you and your family. We have very fond memories of Bill even though we really didn't know him all that well. You both have been in our prayers for a long time. Please take care of yourself and be well. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you.

Dear Mrs. Conley (you'll always be Mrs. Conley to me), Kay, Jeanne, Thomas, and Barbara
My Aunt Gean Rigney emailed me about Bill (Mr. Conley) today. I'm so sorry.
Someone in the guest book wrote about his "beautiful smile and twinkling blue eyes", and boy, did he have those. But he also had a huge and very gentle heart. He was one of the kindest men I ever met. There wasn't a thing he wouldn't do for someone, and thank goodness for the Welches on Quentin Road that he was as handy as he was with things mechanical. That skill was in very short supply in our household.
I know your loss is immeasurable now but take heart in the fact that you had such a wonderful man for as long as you did. Many others lose their loved ones way too soon. He was a gift from God to be sure and I know you will cherish the memories you have of him for the rest of your lives.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Another of " The Greatest Generation", has reported for Pass and Review. My Godfather was always, my hero, my friend, and a loving uncle. My memories abound of his being the Captain of all his boats with the plaques saying," I'm the Captain of this vessel and I have my wife's permission to say so."; and so many other fun things that would bring a smile and laughter. From his nephew, a retired USAF Security Policeman, a final salute at take off to the highest flight ever. I love you Uncle Bill. Mark & Janet

Dear Aunt Louise & Family,
I will always remember Uncle Bill's beautiful smile and twinkling blue eyes. I especially remember him pretending to rest on the couch after work, but he had one eye open not to miss out on the cousin's shenanigans. What wonderful memories I have of your home. Our thougts & prayers are with you all.
Love,
Gus & Lorraine Tranello
