Remembering the good times we had together when we were young, handsome & beautiful. He loved his sporty convertible & I did too. Rest in peace Uncle Bill.
Our family is so sorry to hear about Mr. Bill. His brother Mr. AJ was a teacher to all of us. Our parents loved him very much as did all of us. May the Lord wrap his arms around the family and hold them close in this time of sorrow.
