Dear Sue & family,
I’m so sorry I wasn’t there to see Bill and all your family before his passing, my heart was aching from the time of his accident until his last breath, he was such an awesome guy and will be greatly missed by all his loved ones and friends. I pray that the Lord will comfort all of your hearts during this time of sadness, a person just doesn’t understand the emotions that run through a person’s life when they lose someone so dear to them.
With much love!
