We will never forget our St Eulalia Friends, Bill & Norrine Janecek.
Many years ago, my twin, Grandsons, Trevor & Clinton Hamby (now 28 years old) would get all excited during "Peace" at church.
They would welcome "Mr. Bills" firm handshake.
They would engage in conversation comparing "Mr Bills handshake.
They agreed he must be a" working man." To have such a strong hand.
Thank you, Bill & Norrine for your "Precious Memories"

My deep sympathy and prayers go out to Norrine and her family. Your husband, father, and grandfather was certainly well loved and cared for right up to his last days in this world. Although I've known your family for a brief time I've been impressed with the support you give each other. May our Lord continue to support you as you grieve over "Willie's" loss.
