Dear Anita and Family,

We send our heartfelt sympathy to you all for the loss of Bill. We know you will miss him as the days go by, as will we. Yet we know that you are rejoicing that he is finally out of his pain and mortal struggling body, running around heaven with his new body. When you start dwelling on your loss, which is great, try to dwell on his gain and smile.



We love you all and are praying for God's grace and strenght to carry you these next few days and in the months ahead.



Love,

Paul, Lorraine, Paul, and Ryan
