Dear Rita and Family:

My deepest sympathy to you and your family at this difficult time. Due to a recent hip fracture and scheduling conflict, I was unable to attend Bill's funeral. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Dear Rita and Family,

We share a rooftop with you and yet only know very little about your lives. The one thing that was apparent was the importance of family and a well attended outdoor landscape. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time and please know we are only a "knock" away.

Our condolences,

Bob and Judy Ellison

Dear Rita, Julie,Chris and Family. Just a note to say you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time of loss. Bill was the best boss and friend any high-school kid could have. I often remember Bill talking baseball or telling some humorous story from the past. He always stressed the importance of family. Good luck and God Bless.

Love and prayers of comfort to you, Aunt Rita and all of your children and grandchildren. You will be in our thoughts, as we cannot be there in person. Love you, Tracy (Sachwitz), Mike, Dane and Erik Clemensen.

I remember Bill from when I was a teenager and needed other adults in my life who loved and invested in me besides my parents. Bill and Rita always opened their home to me and listened and encouraged me and I grew to love their sincere kindness. They helped me believe in myself and I remember them with great affection. Until we meet again, and God's blessings to the family as you all grieve your loss. Barbara Nichols Knutson
