Rose, Julie & Michael, you have been on my mind since hearing of your loss. I will always remember Bill by his wonderful smiling face and the friendliness he always displayed each and every time I saw him. I cannot express to you how sorry I am for your loss. I, as well as my family, are here for all of you if you need anything. Please do not hesitate to call on any of us during your time of need. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I was so shocked when my mother called on Sunday night to tell me this news. My boys, Tim and Sean, remember playing with Michael many summers ago and they ALSO remembered what a great guy Bill was. My mom also recalled so many times when he would come over to her house and he helped her out in so many ways. We are all thinking of you and if there's ever anything you need (even if its just someone to talk to) please know that we are ALL here for you.

Mike-
I am deeply sorry for your loss. I wish I could come home to express my condolences in person, but I cannot. Take care. Your family will be in my prayers.

Rose, Julie & Michael,
Please know in your hearts that we really loved your husband/dad, as he was one of the nicest guys. Always sincere, caring and I loved his hearty laugh and humor. We are with you in prayers and spirit. Although this was not your plan, it was always God's plan. Take care of yourselves and take time to grieve but always remember - you didn't lose him - you know EXACTLY where he is and he's watching over you and waiting for you when it'll be your time to go to heaven. We are unable to come tonight (Wed.), but my love is with you today, tomorrow & always. Please take care. May the peace of the Lord be with you. Your church family cares about you and loves you ...
