Sandy,
While I never met your husband, I know he must have been a smart, wonderful man because he chose one of most genuine, compassionate people I've ever met to be his wife. Wishing you comfort and solace. I'm here, always, for whatever you need.

Sandra,
Mike and I were so sorry to hear about Bill. We were just talking about our bridge nights we used to have when you and he lived in Natchitoches.

If there is anything we can do, please let us know.

Abbie and Mike

It's been many years since we lived in the same town, nevertheless Bill's humor and friendship live clearly in our memories of him.
As time moves forward may the happy memories of your years together outweigh the sorrow of his passing.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Hussey when he taught my daughter at Hine Jr. High School. His interesting way of teaching was a delight to my daugter and he was so encouraging. I thank God for allowing Dr. Hussey to cross our paths. He will never be forgotten. May God keep you during your time of sorrow.
