Bertha,
Just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss, Bill was a great man whom I respected very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this sad time. I will encourage Alisha to come spend as much time with you as possible to hopefully bring some happiness back into your life. She adored her grandpa more than anyone in the world besides you her grandma.
I am so sorry that you are going through this, but please know that the lord is with you and you have many loved ones that care deeply. Lean on god and lean on your family. Peace be with you Bertha!!
God Bless
Terri Babbitt and Family.
