Dear Mike, Cindy and Family,
I was so sorry when Cindy called me to tell me about the passing of PAWPAW. He was such and friendly man and loved everybody. I have always admired him and MAWMAW for making me always feel like apart of the family and for treating Candie as if she were also one of their own grandchildren. They always had so much love to give. He will be greatly missed. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I love you all.

To the family,
I've known Bill all of my life We grew up together he seemed like an older brother to me when we were growing up. He was a special person and always had a smile for everyone and was always willing to help since he was young. I have some good memories of our growing up years. He will be missed. When I went to the cemetery I could almost always find him there. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Kent, Mike, and Mark:
You and the rest of the family continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Duane and I were honored to be a part of the funeral service. It was so beautiful with the bagpiper playing "Amazing Grace" at the beginning to the playing of "Taps" at the end. PaPa had a special place in my heart and will truly be missed. He was an inspiration to his family, the church, and his entire community of friends. We were truly blessed to have known your parents and will cherish all of the memories. May God bless you and give you His peace.

Dear, Mark, Mike and Kent,
I am so sorry for your lose. Nobody can know how you feel at a time like this, even though they've been through something similar. Only you know what your dads passing means to you personally. I just saw Uncle Bill a few Sundays ago at Winn-Dixie. He saw I was busy, so he called my name threw up his hand and kept on walking. I'm going to miss looking up and seeing his smiling face. Love to you all. Brenda

I am sorry to hear of Uncle Bill's passing. Grandma(Helen Colvin) always talked about him and how very lucky you guys were to have him as your dad. I know she loved him til the day she died. May Grandma, Aunt Susan, and Uncle Bill be happy being all together once again.

Kent, Mike, and family -
Mr. Bill was very special, and his passing leaves a sad & empty spot here on earth. May your memories keep your grief at bay.

I remember years ago when my parents, Walt and Odessa Poston, would take us to see Mr. Bill and Audrey Wade. Your dad and mom were so very nice. I saw your dad over the years when I would place flowers at my Dad's grave, we would talk a little and then he would go back to cleaning the yard. Your parents were truly gifts from God. Be thankful that you had them as long as you did and remember that both of them are back together again watching over you and yours. God Bless All of You!
