I am truly sorry for your loss. I enjoyed helping to take care of his protimes and talking with both of you by phone.

We are praying with you today, Goble family. Bill loved his family greatly and was very generous sharing their stories with us at the office. The Goble family had many dogs and cats as pets and when a strange critter would wander in, Diane would capture it and release it away from the house. He said if reincarnation were true, he wanted to come back as "one of Diane's animals" because he knew he would be given the royal, loving treatment. Bill's humor and stories will be sorely missed.
