Brandy and Family,
I am so saddened to hear of Bills passing. I always enjoyed talking to him as he came onto 1N, as he always came with a smile and something funny to say. He was a good man and my heart aches for you, Brandy and your boys. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bring you comfort and peace until you meet again.

Brandy,
This day is met with overwhelming emotions for you and your family. I send my deepest, sincerest condolences to all of you.
I remember Bill for so many things and for Gazebo conversations we had. He makes me smile to think of those memories now.
It will be a long journey back to "normal" for you and the boys. Know that time and patience are on your side at this very difficult time. In time the memories bring smiles and not pain.
I have all of you in my thoughts and prayers as you face this and many days ahead filled with emotion, thoughts, memories of the nicest, sweetest man that I had the fortunate pleasure to meet. Everyone says it, but I am not kidding.......if you need ANYTHING, just let me know.
