Thank you Grandpa Bill for taking the time to show me every picture you ever captured and collected, retelling every memory that was near and dear to you each time we conversed, and teaching me to believe in family and fate. I am so honored to have met you and I am proud that our son was named after you. Thank you for serving your country, creating such a wonderful family, instilling rich traditions into mine, and having that strong willed personality! Our family will make sure to celebrate your 101st birthday and every birthday thereafter, in a special way that carries on your legacy. Love Always, Priscilla Lavender Roman
