We´ve known William & Gwen for a few years as neighbors and from the very first meeting them you could see they were kind loving people. Our niece came to visit over one summer, she was about 14 and she met William & Gwen then later in the week we asked her it was her pick what to do that day and she said "what about going to see William and Gwen". Anytime William and I would meet out at the end of our conversation, he´d say brother as in we were all Brothers & Sisters. I´m sure William is in God´s Glorious Kingdom of Heaven now helping out with whatever´s needed. Till then ol friend. Love, Bruce & Holly
