Dear Pat and Jennifer,

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your father, Pat. He sounds like an outstanding man who will be dearly missed by many.

In your sorrow, may the hope of these words bring your entire family comfort:

"Do not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Him." I Thessalonians 4:13

Fondly,
Becky, Bruce, Samuel and Graham Wilson

Dear Mary and Family,

We were very sad to arrive home from vacation to hear of Bill's passing. We wish we could have been with you at this time recalling the many kindnesses of Bill to us and countless others.

I read that he was a "doctor's doctor". Yes, that's true and he was definitely a "man's man" and a "friend's friend". May his incredible goodness, kindness and generosity in all things live on in the children. God bless you, Mary, you too are one of a kind.

He will long be missed by those of us lucky enough to have known him...

Fondly,
Bob and Carol Janc

Mike & Janelle:
I didn't know your father, Mike, but after reading all the wonderful entries in this Guest Book, he must have been a special person, and I'm sure he will be greatly missed. I wish you and your family God's strength and grace.

Dear Brian,

Mary and family,
Bob called yesterday evening to tell me of Bill's death. I have so many wonderful memories of him at County but most of all I remember his kindness in making a " house call " to see my dad when he was ill many years ago. He was an outstanding doctor and a wonderful human being.The care you have given Bill over these many years has been incredible, and your wonderful family is a tribute to both of you.
Love and prayers from Pat and myself.

Dear Mary, I was saddened to hear about Bill's death. Ann Keane Gainer has kept me up to date on Bill's stuggles over the years and the wonderful care you and your family gave him. Your love is a testament to the kind of man, husband, and father he was. I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers and thoughts.

Bill, Emma and the entire Family,

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you at this emotional time. We did not know your father, but knowing you, we are sure that he must have been awfully proud to be the Father and Grandfather of you and your family. May the memories of him carry you through the rest of lives and bring you peace, love and joy.

Our warmest wishes,

Dear Mary and family,

I was so very sad, and sorry to hear about Bill. The last I had heard, he was doing so well. I know you did your very best to love and take care of him and your family these past 17 years. You did a great job! You and Bill have a wonderful family to be proud of.

Bill was a special man, with so many great qualities. I will always remember his smiling face! I know you will miss him very much. May all of your happy memories comfort you now, and in the days ahead. God bless all of the Towne family. I know there is a special place in heaven for Bill. "May God hold him in the palm of His hand."
