Dear Marty, Terri, Marri Jo, John, Jim and Scott.
We were so sorry to hear about Bill and know that mere words cannot console your grief, but this quote helps me in times like these.

"Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."-- Unknown

A song goes..."When I've been there ten thousand years...a million... maybe two...look for me...for I will be there too"...with these comforting words, it is good to know in my heart that I will one day see you again...and in my faith...know that it is true. As I am on this earth...I will grieve out of selfishness because I will miss you...but also celebrate to know you are in a place of beauty and waiting for us to join you once again. MerriJo, May God guide you in this very difficult time of your father's passing. I'm here for you, as you know I have lost both of my parents, and I know what you are going through. God Bless you & your family. Love you, Suzie & Family.

Dear Marty and family,
Such a sad shock. I just saw him at the Sing-A-Long and he only seemed a little quieter than usual. My heart goes out to you because you are such a close-knit loving family and to have one of your anchors taken away so suddenly is unimaginable. May the love you had and happier memories heal the spot Bill held in your hearts. God bless you all.
