Dear Linda and family,
We are sadden to hear of Mr. Bill's passing,He was a wonderful person ! My wife and I became friends with Mr. Bill when I started cutting the lawn at his home in Shellman bluff .
We really enjoyed talking to him and his wife . He was an excellent caregiver to his wife as she struggled with her on health problems. He was just a wonderful person and I will miss our phone conversation ...as Mr. Bill would put it " I just called Larry to check in and see what happening at the Bluff ." We are praying for your family as you face this difficult time and for comfort in the coming day .My the wonderful memories you all shared together bring comfort as your hearts begins to miss his presence. May Jesus bring peace to your souls because he is the only true comfort we have.
Larry & Diane
