Mary, Ada, Mike and Suzie,
I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I have fond memories of Bill and his loving and very funny sense of humor. I absolutely loved Bill's laugh. My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.
I wish you all the best.

Dear Mary & Family,
I wanted to drop a note just to let you know that I am thinking about you. Mom and Dad let me know about Bill the other day and, you know me, not usually being at a loss for words, I am right now.
There are so many clichés for a time like this and unfortunately, I have nothing original except to say how sad I am about his passing but how thankful I am for having had the opportunity to have him a part of my life when I did.
I have nothing but smiles and laughter when I think about some of the times we all shared – the goofiness of his jokes, the constant bantering back and forth about everything under the sun, especially politics, ace four – twenty four, and the penny poker games during the annual new years day football parties.
As you go through the difficulty in adjusting to this just know Bill left such a positive impression on everyone he came in contact with – that is something we (I) will never forget. I will have a Miller Lite to toast Bill with tonite!!
Again, my thoughts are with you – I will make it a point to touch base the next time I am in town!

I've heard so many wonderful stories about Bill from Ada that I feel as though I know him. May God bless you during this time of grieving. Take comfort that you now have a special guardian angel watching over you....
