To Sue and the family just want to tell you how sorry I am to hear of Bill passing, but I thank God he is no longer suffering. I thank you both for the privilage to serve your insurance needs over the past 26yrs. He was not only my client but a friend. I pray that the peace of God that passes all understanding be with you and your family doing this time of lost.

To the Gatlin Family,
So sorry for the loss of your beloved family member. We didn't know him but we do know Denise and his granddaughters, and they are very wonderful in every single way, a great reflection of their heritage. He will always be in their hearts and will live on through stories and many shared memories.

Sue and the family:
I can totally appreciate what you are going through. Will it get better? I don't really know but you learn to accept what GOD has given us and proceed. No advice, just do what makes you comfortable, and not what others want you to do. That is what Bill would want for you. The amazing thing is Pat and Bill are probably laughing and talking about us at this moment. One day we will all be together again, nevermore to be apart and have Jesus and our families "forever" I can't even begin to comprenhend this but it is our assurance and promise through Jesus. Thank you GOD
Love you guys

Our prayers go out to Sue and the family. Billy was my Cousin, his Father and my Mother were brother and sister.
He had a great personality, and big smile all the time, and was a pleasure to be around growing up. My deceased Sister, Pat and I loved to go see them. Billy was always playimg jokes and always kept us laughing. He will be missed, but we know he is with the Lord and his family. God Bless you Billy. Love, Elizabeth##imported-begin##Harold and Elizabeth Fletcher##imported-end##
