To the White Family,
I am truly sorry for your loss. We pray that the Joy of the Lord will be your strength. Losing Bill is like losing a son/brother. What a special man he was. The same God that is with you in the happy times is with you in the sad times. "Cast all your cares upon Him for He cares for you." He will give you the strength you need to make it through the days ahead. "Earth has no sorrow, heaven cannot heal."
You will forever be in our thoughts and prayers.
With our love and deepest sympathy,
Ware-Douglas Family

Billy, If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane We would walk right up to heaven And bring you back again. No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one will ever know But now we know you want us To mourn for you no more To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store Since you'll never be forgotten We pledge to you today A cherished place within our heart Is where you'll always stay!!

Sending our love and prayers to your family. xoxo
