Our memories of Bill and all of the family are full of fun, love and good times. Lisa, Andrew, J.W. and I were just sharing some of those times this past Christmas. Our prayer is that God hold you and give you peace as He welcomes Bill home.

I am sorry for your loss. May you be comforted by the God of all comfort as you go through the days ahead. Also, may friends and family support you during this difficult time.

With loving and lasting memories of "Uncle Bill." He lead the way for many of us to seek a better education because of all he did to show us the way. He was the first of the Shepherd Street Gang to earn a Phd and exemplar in raising his children and handling adversity with the loss of his beloved son Michael. There are not many words to express your loss, however, many of us are better people because of the example that Dr. William C. Branche presented to his "forever friends."
