I'll bet heaven is smiling more now that Bill has arrived. Bill was a true gentleman and will be missed by all who knew him. Although Becky is very sad at the moment, I'm sure as time passes all the wonderful memories she and Bill made together will bring a smile to her heart. Love, Pam and Russ

Dear Becky,
Was saddened to read Bill's obituary in today's newspaper. Don't know if you will remember Mathy and me---however, Bill and I worked together many years ago at State Farm. I have fond memories of our times together.
May wonderful memories sustain you during this difficult time and know that Bill is fondly remembered and that our prayers and expressions of sympathy go out to you.
Sincerely,
Dick and Mathy Coyle
