Diane and family: Very sorry to hear of the passing of Bill. Keep in your heart all the magic times that you and bill shared . 25 years and 364 days. With sorrow –Joseph St Hilaire

One of my favorite memories of Bill was years ago when we had Bill and Diane over for dinner. Faiz cooked and anyone who knows Faiz knows he likes his spices. Beads of sweat started forming on his head (he didn’t have a whole lot of hair ) and we started to apologize for the spiciness. He laughed it off and said he loved it. He asked for seconds. Bill was blessed in many ways throughout his life. Of that I’m sure. My prayers are for those he left behind on this Earth – may you find peace and comfort in your memories and in the love you have for each other. God bless.

My dear Diane and Tyler I am sorry for the loss of your husband and father (Tyler). Remember this verse: Just close your eyes and you will see all the memories you have of me. Just sit and relax and you will find, I’m really still there inside your mind. Don’t cry for me now I’m gone, for I am in the land of song. There is no pain, there is no fear, so dry away that Silent Tear. . Don’t think of me in the dark and cold, for here I am no longer old. I’m in that place that’s filled with love, known to you all as “up above”. Love always, Mom / Nanner
