Ann- I remember you and Bill as a delightful couple to be with as we looked for your home in Simpsonville. Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss.

Dear Ann and Family, I attended New Holland Elementary and Gainesville High School with Bill. I remember you from GHS too. I talked to Sue today. You are all in my prayers that God will give you grace, peace and strength.
Bill was always friendly, and I enjoyed being his classmate for 12 years. God bless you. John 14, Psalm 23
