During this time of mourning, I would like to express my sincere condolence at the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort in persistent prayers, as “the peace of God that excels all thought will guard your heart and your mental powers.” [Phil. 4:7] I certainly hope that the help God can give at this time will make a difference.

Uncle Bill,
You will be missed so much. You were always such a great and loving person, a wonderful Uncle to grow up with. I could always count on you for a smile (and a funny nickname) at any time! I love you.

There within your heart.

Billy, I will always have you in my heart. Soon we will be able to run those relay races again and this time we will show them how fast you really are. To the family, I will keep you in my heart too. To loose 2 wonderful loving people in one year is almost too much to bare.
