There are events that we do not accept or understand, but that have a reason, perhaps God took him away because he deserved to be in a better place or in a place full of peace. I'm sorry that there is so much distance between us in these situations, but please, receive all my love and my warm, a big hug and my prayers for you. With all my love Alicia Neyra 07/11/2023 Aunt Mickey, Dale, Richie and Jackie. I am so to hear about Uncle Bill. He was such a great guy and always went out of his way to talk to me when I was little. You are all in my thoughts and prayers 😘Bill Sandsberry
