Uncle Bill was a strong minded Christian man. I will miss him very much. He was a faithful husband, and a wonderful provider ,and father to his 11 children. He believed the Bible was God´s Word and taught this to his children, and grandchildren. I´m sure he is enjoying looking into the face of His Savior. Untill we see you again in the new heaven and earth our Lord Jesus has made, He has fought the good fight, he has finished the coarse, and he will now enjoy the treasure laid up for him by our loving Lord Jesus. I will think on you often Uncle Bill.
My love, and prayers to Aunt Jewel , and all the Davis family. I love you . My heart is heavy over you all. Joanie
