So sorry for your loss.
I didn't know Bill personal but Regina talked about him so much, I felt like I knew him some. He must of been one very special person from the stories she told.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Bill and my father both had spouses with Alzheimer's. I tried so hard to get my father to be as outgoing as Bill was, to get out and do things like Bill did. He was an outstanding, and strong person. He will not be forgotten. If you need anything, please let me know.
