Dear friend, sponsor and mentor, I will miss you more than words can express. No longer hindered by your physical form, you are now free to soar with the angels. God bless you my friend.
I’m so sorry to hear this news. I’m torn by my self-centered wish to see him again and by my knowledge that he is in no pain. I see him running, dancing, and flying with a large grin on his face.
To Kim and family: Thank you for sharing him with us. I pray God’s Grace sees you thru the days and months ahead.
What a role model he has been to all his, and Bill W’s friends.
God Bless
