"Craig Tricia Peggy and JudyWe want you to know that we are holding each of you up in prayers. I was saddened to hear about Bill when mom called to let me know. as he was always such a joy to be around. His ever smiling face and always a joke to tell. His hugs will be missed by those who received them. He is shining down on each of you. Cherish the memories that you have with your dad and brother. He was a great man. I won't forget him. Just remember that you can make it thru this with the Lord by your side. One of my favorite bible verses is I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me. Just reach out to him and he is there for you carrying you thru this time. Hugs and prays."

"Craig Shelley and girls. We are all thinking of you and praying for you. There is nothing I can say that makes it feel any better right now I will always remember Bill's stories he loved to talk about anything. I remember when I drove to Montana and he sat down with his atlas and mapped out the whole trip for me showing me his old trucking routes. He had such a close bond with Krystal and Kayla I know they will be hurting for him for a long time. If there is anything me or Timmy can do please call us."
