Michelle, I am very sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I lived down the street on Capetown from you both for 20 years, but moved in 1993. I was your Avon lady and My ex husband worked with Bill at Edison. You and Bill were the perfect love story and a great Dad to your children. You are in my prayers. May God keep you and your family safe in his love. Francene & Mark Rathbun, Keller, Tx.
