"I am so sorry for your loss! I loved Bill like he was my own uncle! He will forever be in my heart. I will never forget the fun we had, the "cheeseball" contest he and Tina had and his silly song (that recently went through my mind randomly!) He was a great man and will be dearly missed! I love you Aunt Sue! You are in my thoughts and prayers!"
