To the family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I never had the pleasure of meeting Bill. However, his generosity and kindness to my son Caleb will forever touch and warm my heart and I will be forever grateful to your entire family for all that you have done for him. It is clear to me that Bill really had a positive impact on Caleb (CJ) and I thank Bill and God for that. I will keep you all in prayer and I wish you God's peace as you travel this dark path. Please take comfort in the promise of John 14:1-3 There is a place prepared for Bill and each of us and we will all be together again. God bless you and thanks again!
