Mom, Tracy, Courtney & Brandon-
I am so terribly sorry to hear of your loss. I can not even imagine how this must affect you all. My heart aches for you. I wish there were something I could do to take away your pain. I know right now you feel weak. I always think about footprints when I feel weak. Knowing that when I see only one set it was then he carried you. I am so thankful to God for the time you did have to share with Bill. He loved you all so much. I know I didnt know Bill all that well but I thank him so much for giving me such a wonderful sister to share my life with and I hope you all know if ever you need anything I will always be here for you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers always.

To Bill's family,

I know I've only known Bill a short time but I really enjoyed & looked forward to my visits with him. We would talk about NASCAR, old muscle cars and just sit & visit with a cup of coffee (a coke for me). I feel truly honored & blessed to have met him & been able to provide some comfort to him. I will remember him always. You are in my thoughts & prayers!

May The Lord comfort Doc's family and friends at this time.He was an inspiration to me as a co-worker for 17 years as "hope for things not seen" was always in his heart.

Dear Anita, Ed and family of Bill,
We at St. Ladislas and Corpus Christi parishes extend our deepest prayers and sympathy on the death of your loved one. Bill was such a faithful member of St. Lads and his friends, especially the ones at the 4:00 p.m. Sat Mass, still miss his presence. We have a special prayer service every Tuesday evening and Bill's name was always mentioned in our "prayer for" list. Know that he is now with God and his suffering is ended. God Bless You.
