Bill was a lead singer in a band I was in during the 80s. He had a powerful, soulful voice that drove our sound. RIP Bill.

As I said on Facebook my sincere thoughts go out to you at the recent parting of your husband. I didn't have the fortunate pleasure of meeting him. I do hope you stay strong in these sad times and remember the good times.
After the grieving I hope you can attend our next class reunion so we can all catch up with you. May the good Lord bless you.
