Dear Aunt Barbara, Cousins and Spouses and Grandchildren,
My thoughts and prayers are with each one of you of the passing of Uncle Bill. We was a good natured man who touch everyone's heart and loved by all. I have many years of memories from dances to family gatherings. I remember when I was a kid we would visit my parents and sit around with a cup of coffee. My dad would talk about the times he'd stop at his house when he was fishing at your creek. My mom said he always liked his shoes to shine. I am so glad to be a part of his 85th birthday party and having a memory of him with his Big Smile. Love Cousin Rosie

Dear Barbara and Family,
I did not see you both for a long time, but I
remember all the Sunday mornings at Mass
when you 3 sat in front of me and we talked after mass.
I very much enjoyed seeing both of you.
God needed a new Angel and chose him.
May he rest in peace and you all find comfort in
all your good memories together.
My sympathy to all.
