I am so sad to think of never again seeing Bill's smile or joking around with him at the mailbox. All of us at Northern Lights who knew him will miss him, as I know you will. He was a wonderful neighbor and a fun-loving guy!

Dear Adeline and Family,
Although words seem to say so little, I hope they help in some small way to ease the sense of loss that your experiencing . Hold fast to your memories, to all of the cherished moments of the past, to the blessings and the laughter, the joys and the celebrations, the sorrow and the tears. They all add up to a treasure of fond yesterdays that you shared and spent together, and they keep the one you loved close to you in spirit and thought. The special moments and memories in your life will never change. They will always be in your heart, today and tomorrow. We will always be here for you.

To Adeline and Family: I got the opportunity to meet Bill during this last year. He always had a warm smile, and could always share a good laugh. He was so proud of his kids and grandkids, and would talk about them often. Even when he was not feeling well, he would ask how my kids were doing. I feel very blessed to have known him for the time that I did. His family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
