Mrs. Laura,



We just wanted to let you know how much Mr. Bill meant to us and our children. Both boys loved him dearly and regarded him as a third grandpa. When I think of him I picture how tenderly he held them as babies and how sweet he always was with them. His kindness will never be forgotten. He will be missed.



May he find the peace from suffering he has long deserved and the comfort of the Father at his side.



You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs from all of us.

Dear Mrs. Laura, Angie and family,



Words do not come to mind of how our family feels toward you and Mr. Bill. We are so very grateful that we had such wonderful, loving people to care for Logan. I remember picking her up and she'd be sitting in Mr. Bills lap, eating junk but we never minded because we knew how special she and the other children were to you both. Kinda like your "J-ville grandkids." We love you very much and are praying for strength for you every day. We know Mr. Bill is just fine where he is...finally feeling no pain. We consider ourselves blessed to have known him. There is a place in the heart where love lives always, and nothing beautiful is ever forgotten.



Love and tears,

Ivey, Jimmy and "Logie" Lewicki

We love you,



Ranell, Don and Austin
