    Uncle Bill. I prayed last night for you, that God would bring relief of your pain. The wonderful Lord has answered my prayers. Missing you would not be even close to how I will feel in the years to come but my memories are full. The love you have shown to me in my life has been abundant. May God rest your soul now and bring you to everlasting peace with Aunt Shirl, Dad, Russ, Honey, Ruth and everyone else who has risen to heaven. I will always love you and miss you. RIP. Your Loving Nephew Greg
