Nadine, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of Bill. We spent many very happy times together. From the days you were "upstairs" on Tilghman St., to the days on the farm, and many other happy memories. You and Bill were such good friends to my parents.
My sincere condolences to you and the girls.

Sorry for your loss, I worked with Bill in occupational therapy at Cedarbrook and he was always cracking jokes and was happy towards the end. When he was allowed to eat regular food, I gave him a home grown tomatoe and he loved it. I will remember Bill fondly.
