As well as a couple other people, to them we would like to say a special thank you and send our love, Bills longtime friend Mary Hopkins (Ron), and to Mark Robinson. You all meant so much to him… For everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven; A time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to back down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. Ecclesiastes 3 1-4 You will forever be Loved and Missed by those whose lives you touched… If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again. -Unknown Love your Wife
