Kelly, Shawn and family, this is your family from Virginia, Aunt Bonnie, Buddy, Susie and Heather, our thoughts and prayers are with you guys. It just doesnt seem real it was a tradgey when Aunt Vel passed away now this happened to Uncle Bill. Well we all know that now they are back together and happy even though it is hard on all of us. If you all need anything I know that we are so far away from each other, but if you just want to talk you know where we are at. We will never forget the summer vacations when you all always come to see us. We love you and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Bill you forever will be missed by many. Your little sayings and charm can never be duplicated. You always knew what to say and do to make things right, and I will miss the talks and many laughs. Halloween wont be the same either...Who else is going to give Katy a whole candy bar? Also, I promise next time I make cheesecake I will put that little squeeze of lemon in lol. So many good memories.....You were a dear friend and taught me that life isnt worth sweating the small stuff. My heart and prayers go out to your family and others who hearts you have touched, by just being Bill.
