I work for Emmanuel and heard about your wife's passing from one of the staff at Sunset when I went to see a patient yesterday. I've never met your wife but heard about her during your residency on the Burn Center. I have fond memories of working many long hours with you and sharing stories about our family's. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May you find the peace that passes all understanding and feel the wings of God wrapped around you, through your wife's passing and your own on going battle.

Bill, we have fond memories of when we were neighbors at Malumghat long ago. You and the family are in our prayers during this difficult time. "Christ in you, the hope of glory." (Col. 1:27)

Dear Bill: We remember a very early morning when several brave families, including our children and yours, walked down to the hospital area(Malumghat,Bangladesh) to see a comet in the sky that would not be seen again for a-long-time. We have not seen you and Karen all these years, but remember your fondly and are praying for you and the children now. Love in Jesus, Larry and Nancy Allen

I am so sorry to hear of Karen's passing. I have fond memories of working with you in the hospital at Malumghat. I also always enjoyed when Rachel would walk home from Bengali church with me. Praying for you and your family.

We are so sorry for your loss. We have fond memories of your whole family living next door to us at Malumghat! Karen impressed me with her self discipline, her good mothering, and her beautiful voice. Our parakeet could mimic her voice calling for Rachel--I don't know how Rachel knew when she was supposed to come because our bird loved mimicing Karen's voice! I remember once our otter broke in and ate a loaf of your fresh bread for which she was disciplined! I returned a loaf as a "peace offering". Praying for you all at this time,
Jack and Margaret Archibald

Bill, I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family. I have such fond memories of your time with us in Bangladesh-actually spotting my melanoma and later sharing with us when Bob came down with cancer similar to yours. Praying for you and your continual battle. May God bless you as you and your family deal with all of this. He is able!
