Aunt Carol, Steve, Alan, Marshall, Barb, Tom and I are saddened at the pasting of Uncle Bill. Gordie ( dad) told us that his cancer came back and it was not good. We pray for peace and rest for all of you during this time.

Carolyn and family, so sorry to hear that you lost Bill, know his health hadn’t been well for some time. We have many good memories of the early years when the kids were young and later when we could get together and reminisce. We especially enjoyed your 50th wedding anniversary. Our sympathy, John and Donna.

Dear Carol,
I was so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. I thought you had gone to Alabama for the winter. We will miss him riding through the park on his tricycle! He always stopped to visit when I was out in the yard watering or pulling weeds. He often had a word of encouragement for me and I will miss that. May God be with you in the coming days. I know it will be difficult but it’s good that your son is with you. Thinking of you, Joanne
