Bill was a take charge and get it done kind of guy. He loved our church with a passion and with his family they were jewels in his crown. He was always bursting with pride when he spoke of them. He may be gone for the moment but we are assured a heavenly reunion!
God bless Alveda and their family now with comfort and peace. We love you all!
