Oh Bill, I can't believe that you are gone. You, after Vietnam, searched us all out and kept the family ties. Your smile, love of life and you were such a charmer!

It seems that whenever anything big

or bad happened in Vietnam, you were there, and yet, you came back

with so much love for everyone. I know that you had found your wonderful Peggy, had your great kids and grandkids and of course, MaryKay who was always there for you. May God bless you and keep you in joy and happiness. I'll see you again.

love, your cousin, Karen
