To Carol,
I was so saddened to hear of Bill's death. We had so much fun in our younger days and I have nothing but fond memories. I'm so sorry Bill had to suffer so.

It is hard to believe that Bill is gone. While I am sad, I am happy for him that he is no longer confined to a chair or bed. He can walk all over Heaven in the place that our Lord prepared for him.
