Nancy, my heart goes out to you. I always enjoyed our conversations. Since I have an all-day meeting at our motherhouse, I regret not being able to attend at the VFW on Sat. I will keep Bill and you in special prayer. Sr. Mary Louise Uebelhor, St. Mary’s Parish
My heart goes out to you Nancy. Although I haven’t seen Bill or you for some time, some of the most peaceful, kind people I ever knew.
Bill was such a nice guy with so much talent. He always tried to help people when they entered his business. Many times he would not say no, but would say I will try to fix whatever you needed repaired. Nancy and Bill showed so much love toward each other and I am so sad that Bill passed. Hugs to Nancy and Jane. RIP Bill…….
