Bill's was a life so well lived and dedicated to his Lord, his family and many others. I find joy in that he liked visiting with my dad in our small town and especially that we got better acquainted in later years in our home town group. He quickly became one of us. Praying for you now as you find peace and comfort in the one who has prepared a place for us to meet again.
