    Bill and Linda,

    We are so sorry to hear of your father’s passing, we send our deepest sympathy to you and your family. When your dad was still driving, it was a pleasure seeing him in one or another of our local restaurants, and engaging in a short conversation. He always seemed to remember us. Losing a parent that is so very much loved is immensly difficult, you are in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.

    With love,

    Bob and Bernice

    My deepest sympathy to you during this time of sorrow. Having lost both of my parents, and both of my husband’s parents, I totally understand the grief you all must be feeling. However, the Lord is a gracious healer. He will carry you through this very difficult time. Love and peace to you all. Ruth

    So sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. Hope there wasn’t any suffering towards the end. 92 years is pretty darn good.

    I’m in Chicago visiting my girl this weekend so, unfortunately can’t make the services.

    You’re in my thoughts & prayers. Lora

    Dear Billy,
    I am sorry for the loss of your Dad. I remember him. Lynnette shared this with me. What a beautiful service and love the “Dream a Little Dream of Me”. How very sweet. I can just can picture that air mailbox! I have lots of fond childhood memories of summers at Culver’s Lake. I always envied you big kids! Having lost both of my parents, I know what it is like to not have them here any more. The funny thing is we know what their advice would be. I just miss talking about it with them and hearing their voice. We were very lucky kids to have the parents and the expreiences they provided for us.
    God’s peace, Billy.
    Debbie
