    I’m so sorry to hear of Bill’s death. It has been a long time since I’ve seen Bill and Nancy, but I have many happy memories of camp at Indian Creek with Bill and Roger Williams Fellowship at First Baptist Church in Terre Haute. My prayers are with the entire family.

    Bill and I go back to our early days of teaching at Burris School. I regret the loss of my friend and will truly miss his attempts to stump me with the Sunday Stumpers (and he did several times). I will be unable to attend the funeral, but you are in my prayers, Nancy.

    Oh, Nancy, I am so sorry about Bill. He was a good man. I always respected both of you and admired the strong commitment you shared. I am in Northern Illinois and can’t be there for the funeral but will rejoice with you that he is in heaven and free from pain and suffering. Hope to see you when I get back. Love. Judy.
