Flo ... I so enjoyed working with Bill through our association with the Oteyokwa Lake Club. My admiration for him was warranted by the integrity that he lived by. I pray God's peace over your days ahead.

Please accept my sympathy for your loss. I only knew Bill professionally, and that was decades ago, but to my mind he was always a CPA's CPA!

Flo,
It's hard to know what to say at a time like this, but having known Bill vicariously through Mom, (having only met him once or twice) I know you and he had a full and wonderful life together. Know you and the rest of your family are in our thoughts and prayers, as well as within our church family, and as soon as I'm able I'll make a trip up and we three can go wander through Amish country together. Love you, Lady!!

Flo
Please accept my condolences for your loss. People are who they associate with, therefore I am sure your husband was a good, kind and intelligent man, as thoughtful as you are. I will pray for both of you.

Carl and I have not known Flo and Bill for very long, only since moving up here 4 years ago. They both are like friends that you have know for many years and would do anything for you. Like picking you up at 2 a.m. to take you to the airport and waiting after your vacation to pick you up late evening. Truly great friends and Bill will be missed by many people.
Love, Toni and Carl
