Bill & Kim,
So sorry to hear of your Mom's death. In my mind she will be remembered as a joyful person, one who could laugh easily. She was a very beautiful lady. It was always uplifting to see her outside - working in her yard and flowers. There is no doubt that she is very close to you both, right now and is keeping her "eyes on you".

Bill & Kim ... Your both in our thoughts and prayers during this hard time.

Billy~ Was sorry to see the news of your Mom passing. I don't believe I ever met her, but I know you have been her "right hand man" for many years and shared a great closeness with her. I remember you speaking of her, always with love. You have been a good son to her and I'm sure she will be keeping her "eyes on you" as she keeps busy in heaven. May God keeps his arms around you and Kim during these trying days.
Love, Coleen and Ronnie
