Aunt Gerrie and family,



I am so sorry for Uncle Billy's passing. My prayers are with you all in your time of grief. I remember Uncle Billy being a grand man who always gave me a kiss & a friendly smile. I know how it feels to loose someone you love so much. I miss my Father & Mother more than words can express; what keeps me going is that I know they are not hurting anymore. He will always be in everyone's heart & not forgotten. I feel my Parent's are still looking out for me. God Bless Love & Prayers, Judy & Juan

Patty and Family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I do know how hard it is to loose a father, and a husband. Just remember that he is without pain and in a much better place now. He will be there waiting for each of you, a lifetime to us but only a few minutes to him. May God be with each of you and help get you through each day. God Bless!! Gina, Mike, Kelli and Nick Greenwood
