His girls miss him terribly and knowing that he has touched so many warms our hearts. We didn't see all the cards so if you sent one thank you so much."

"Mary, Bill has been special to me ever since I met him at RCIA. God love you both. I would have loved to be a Mass-server at a funeral Mass for Bill. But it says: "No services will be held PER BILL'S REQUEST." I've prayed for him each day since Sunday. Love,"
