What a blessing to have known Bill. I remember wonderful times in visitation with him as he shared his testimony and how he blessed so many people with the love of the Lord. May the Lord fill your hearts with His love and comfort until the great reunion day. Love,

I just returned from a trip tonight (Wednesday) and learned of Bill's homegoing. A myriad of memories flood my mind. "It's the sovereignty of God" I can still hear Bill say. We love you all and you will abide not only in our hearts but in our prayers as well through these days.

Allen,
I know that your loving father is now with my Dad, who died a little over a year ago. Someday soon we shall all be reunited. Tell Sarah hello for me. In Christ,
Andy
And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." Rev 21:3-4

So sorry to hear about your dad. My family does have such fond memories of times together at Sagamore Hill. I know Bill will be with my daddy, (Bob) and so many other old friends who have already gone to be with the Lord. You are in our prayers.
Love you, Patty and Bea
