So sad to hear this. Bea and I sat next to him on the back row most every Sabbath. You rest in peace Brother Bill till the Lord comes to recieve you, Which I don’t think will be too long.
Bill, I’ll never know or forget the way you deeply cared for my mother Ellen and my sister misty.
You were the logic in a sandstorm of broken people.
You took care of my mother until the end and always provided my sister misty with guidance she deserved from a father albeit you were not biological to her.
You did not deserve this, but I take solace in the fact that you spent so much of your life deciding to care for two people who had been so broken down.
You will be absolutely missed by little sister misty and I am proud to know that she had someone as great as you to give her guidance in life, until meet again.
WE WILL THINK ABOUT YOU ALWAYS,
WE TALK ABOUT YOU STILL.
YOU WONT EVER BEEN FORGOTTEN,
NO, YOU NEVER WILL.
WE HOLD YOU CLOSE WITHIN OUR HEARTS AND THERE YOU WILL REMAIN,
YOU WERE A SPIRITUAL GUIDE TO THE BROKEN.
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.
