Joy Kay, Bill was a High School friend and our "big brother". Haven't seen him in years but thought of him often and how much fun we had with him and others on Saturday nights in Everton. He will be missed not only by family but the long ago friends. Peace. Bonnie & Jim Mallory, Everton, MO

Joy and family,
Joy, I am very sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I know he was in alot of pain and now he's not. He's in a place where there is no pain only peace. And, now he is reunited with his beloved Kitty.
May our Lord hold you close and give you comfort now and always.
