TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS, BILL YOU WILL BE MISSED. ALL THE YEARS WE WENT TO WESTVIEW BAPTIST CHURCH AND I GOT TO SIT IN THE SAME ROLL WITH YOU AND LENA WAS SUCH A BLESSING FROM GOD. YOU ALWAYS HAD A SMILE AND A HAND SAKE FOR OTHERS AND A BLESSED PEACE ABOUT YOU. ONCE IN A WHILE I GOT A HUG WHEN LENA WAS GETTING THEM FROM OTHERS,YOU STOOD AND SMILED AND THERE WAS PEACE IN YOUR FACE. I WELL MISS YOU! SEE YOU IN HEAVEN!! ANN
To All Bill’s Family and Friends,
Bill was a true treasure who, unfortunately, didn’t enter my life until his waning years. As I told him while he was in rehab, I feel extremely fortunate to have shared a friendship with him for that short period of time. We talked about his life. I learned that he felt fulfilled, was at peace with his God and was ready to move on. All of us who saw Bill in his final days know that the fight had depleted his strength, and all of us who knew Bill in his final years know that Bill would not have been happy had he continued to “exist” without his mobility and the quality of life he enjoyed for over 95 years. My thoughts are with you. All of us will miss him enormously. RIP, Bill.
