We’re so sad to hear of Bill’s passing. We always enjoyed spending time with Bill and Donna. Wish that we weren’t so many miles apart so we could’ve sent more time together.

Donna,
I was so saddened by Bill’s passing. I was praying he would get stronger with each passing day, but the Good Lord had other plans for Bill, and brought him home. Now he will be doing all his camping in the Heavenly skies. And I know he will be watching over you always. Your were his life.
Know I am praying for you and your family…….Terry
