I didn´t even realize this was here. I love you Donna. You are such a thoughtful friend.
I miss my husband so much. There are so many little things in my life where I miss him. 37 years are a lifetime. There will be a day I believe that we will be together. Just in separate rooms watching tv. Till then, my sweet, caring husband...

Well Bill, I guess I'm the first one to sign your guest book here on legacy. I don't have the words to express how I feel right now, so I sponsored this legacy page, so We All can come back to it and express ourselves whenever we want. I know I didn't see you much with all the miles between us, but I will miss you immensely. At the moment, the cutest memory I can think of is when you and Sherry came to FL and we went to Homosassa . We all got a snack and you got that squirrel to eat potato chips from your hand! I love you dear friend.
