My heart goes out to Nancy and to the family and friends of Bill. I met Bill when I worked at Meyers Super Valu food store in Sister Lakes Michigan. I would make hot deli meals for Estelle when she was alive and also sandwichs and other items when needed. My Mother at the time loved Michigan as I knew Estelle did also. Although I never met Estelle I felt a bond when we talked about our Mothers. I had the honor of knowing Bills family and friends when they came into the store shopping. My husband died in 2003 and I sold our home the next year due to my health problems. I have many fond memories of Michigan and of the friends I met when I was there. My thoughts and prayers go out now to everyone that knew Bill. May you always keep him " alive " in your hearts as I know Bill will always be alive in mine. With warm regards, Carol Clarke
