My condolences to Bills family, I'm truly sorry for your loss.we shared many years together, good and bad. The stories we could tell, the fun, the sadness, 15 plus years together, your sure put a dent in my ass. Cara still talks about the stories you told her, the jokes you and Cara would do when we were out for dinner. We had some hard times to, but my kids truly looked up to you and loved you, like I did. R.I.P. WILLIAM HARRISON STEPHEN, GO NOW AND SEE YOUR LOVED ONES IN HEAVEN AND THE FRIENDS THAT WENT BEFORE YOU. LOVE YOU ALWAYS ROBIN.
