Dear Clarice,Ed, Kem and family,
Our sympathy and prayers are with you. I wish we were able to be there to say good-bye. Bill was such an encouragement to us. We grew so much spiritually in the time we were together. We have many wonderful memories to hold on to and though it is sad to say good-bye we rejoice that he is "home" and we will see him again.
We love you.
Bruce and
Annie

Dear Clarice, Ed and family,
We send our love, sympathy and prayer support at this time. We wish distance was not such an issue or we would be there in person. We held Bill in the highest place of respect.
