Happy Fathers Day in Heaven. You took daddy's place after he passed and was in my life longer than him. You never had your own children, but you may as well say you raised me. You left a great impression on me and steered me the correct way. I miss you so much!!!!
Your Little sis....

Bill was a member of our special family CCLA the Central Carolina Liver Association. He was a positive influence on those who had liver disease and whether they were undergoing treatment, or were a transplant recipient, they all knew they could count on him for a smile and compassion.
I personally am thankful to have met Bill and his wonderful wife Barbara. They threw themselves into the promotion of CCLA and he was pivotal in getting information to patients through his relentless efforts to have printed material available in waiting rooms. He had a zeal for helping others and the loss will be felt by all. Thank you Bill for being so selfless. Thank you Barbara for encouraging him. I know with certainty that he is receiving his eternal reward. Condolences to his relatives. His CCLA family grieves with you. God bless you Bill

Bill, No words will ever express the love I have for you. You have been my "step in" father after daddy passed. You were my mentor, and my encourager. I will never forget the life lessons you taught me and the ways you showed me to "think" and make it through. You have now made it to Heavens Shore and we now have another Angel to join the ones that have went before. Stand tall and up there and I am sure you and Babe are now with mama and daddy. You will always be with me and I know you are still with me. Save a place next to you for me. I love you forever and look forward to seeing you again.
Your little sister,
Karen
