Sandi, Bill Jr. and Family,
We were very sad to hear the news of Bills' passing. Please accept our deepest sympathies and know you are in our prayers. It is always sad to learn about these things when you can't be there to help in comforting. It has been a long time since we have seen you. Bill will be greatly missed. I will always remember the weekends that were spent with you guys in Jamestown.

Sandi,
Sorry for your loss. It's hard at this time, but like my mother, Bill's now healthy and whole, and he and she are probably having a good time together. May God give you the strength to get through this time.

Love Bev
