Dear Kathy,Nathan, Ariana
So sorry for Bill passing and pray for his rest in Heaven. I know he is with Miriam and the other family members who have preceded him. Bill always liked to joke and cut up with us all and he wanted to keep us laughing about things. And he was successful most of the time. Sometimes we laughed to keep him happy. I guess that’s what we do for each other. Bill used to like to babysit our little Sheltie Ginger and take her for walks. We appreciated him being so good to her. Bill and Miriam were always very nice to me and I will not forget them. Occasionally I will dream of Miriam and I’m always helping her with flowers or putting food away so that tells you what she did a lot. Bill was always there to help or mostly entertain. Rest well Bill
