Hello. My name is Kristi & I was Bill's housekeeper at West River when he was on the Assisted Living side. He was always a joy to talk to & I loved hearing his vocabulary. There was a picture in the hallway of white trees along a lane & he told me the story of the only time he's seen one was when he & Etna took a trip to New York. He also told me the story behind the picture he had of his son's family with former President George W. Bush. I even met Brenda a couple times. My sympathies to you all. He was a great guy.

My prayers are with all of you in Bill's death. He was so kind and thoughtful to my husband. He and Etna were such great people, and I know you all will miss them greatly.
