Dear Aunt Helen & Family,

Please know that we mourn with you at the loss of Uncle Bill. We only got to see Uncle Bill at occasional big family get togethers, but his big smile & friendly manner made you feel good to be with him. Since I was a small child at "Big" Grandmom's, I remember our families all together, & Uncle Bill was always kind, considerate, & genuinely interested in me. As I grew up & became an adult and married, he always treated me with this same interested caring whenever we got to meet at a family gathering. You never forget someone who treats you with kindness and caring, especially someone who has such a large & outgoing personality, and is willing to share it with a little child. I have the fondest memories of Uncle Bill, and know that some of those qualities that he lived impacted my life. Uncle Bill is the kind of guy that you feel lucky to have known. May God bless you & your family as you all come together to celebrate what a wonderful husband and father He gave you.
With Love & Tears, Jim & Carol Reeves

Dear Aunt Helen & family,

So sorry to hear about Uncle Bill, we grieve with you and understand your sadness. (it was only 6 months ago that Mom passed away) Cherish the memories and hold strong to your faith to get you through this difficult time. I was just looking at the pictures of you & Uncle Bill and my parents and the trip you all took together.

God asked "What blessings would you ask in life"? and I replied: "Give me a helpmate who will stand beside me, children who will respect me, grandchildren who will keep me young, time enough to enjoy them all, and a peaceful journey home to Thee". What more can one ask, for these are the important things in life. I have had all these, and more. I am at peace. Be you at peace also. (anonymous)

My deepest sympathy to all the family and loved ones at this most difficult time.
