Bill and Karen, I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Uncle Bill will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him. I wish I could be there with you. He was a great man and I always loved him very much. I will never forget watching him preach in church when I was a child and all the fun we had together. He had a huge influence in my life. Now he is with Jesus and your mom and we will see them again in Heaven. I am praying for God to give you peace and comfort and that you will be thinking of all the happy memories that you had with him. God bless you. I love you.
