I was shocked to received your e mail message. You have my sympathy. We know that Bill believed in Jesus. It was Jesus who said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me though he die yet shall he live. And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die." I will not be able to make it to Fort Wayne. However, you are in my thoughts at this time in your life.
