Dear Agnes:
Me and my family are saddened by the passing of Bill. I know this is a hard and sad time for you and your family. Laurel passed away on December 18th and we think of him everyday, just as you and your family think of Bill every day. My daughter, Theresa, worked with Bill a few times while in the 008th District and she sends her regrets. I'm sure Bill and Laurel are having a good time up there. My prayers are with you and your family and at this sad time.

Dear Agnes and family, we were saddened to hear of Bill's passing. He was quite a guy when he, Rich and Ron Bell worked together in the Grand Crossing District. I know they shared many memories of eachother. My only regret is that we lost touch over the years. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy and know that we are praying not only for Bill, but for you and your family, as well. Thinking of you, Rich & Liz Dixon & family.
