Dear Kay and family, God blessed you and Bill with a long and loving marriage and a marvelous family. As a sign of your strong faith, passed to you from your wonderful parents, I pray the Lord Jesus will wrap His arms around you and hold you close to His heart in the days and nights ahead. When I think of you Kay and Bill, my memories are of the wonderful times I spent with you all on Second Street. My wonderful brother-in-law, Johnny, gifted me by giving me such a wonderful extended family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Bill is up and on his way to touch the "Face of God"

Dear Kathy, To a daughter or son, dads are more than just dads, they are our mentors, best friends, our hero’s, the loss is uncomprehensable I know but what makes the loss a little easier is knowing that the memories you shared together live inside your heart and soul forever. Its the "blessings that have gone unseen that are eternal"Nothing I can say will make your pain go away but do know that no matter what time of day or night I have no doubt your father is right there with you and your family as my father is with ours My thoughts and prayers and condolences with you and your family during this most difficult time. God Bless~~
