Marie Tyrie and Family Members, I was distressed to hear about Bill. Bette had emailed me that Bill was in the Solace Center several days ago. Bill and I go back many years and I knew many of his family personally. Regardless of health or any other circumstance in life we are never ready to give up our loved ones. Bill was always so full of zest for life it is hard to imagine him gone. The only comfort comes from a real Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the concern shown by caring friends. Please know we are thinking of you.

Marie Tyrie and other family members,
Bette had emailed me several days ago that Bill was in the Solace Center and Lloyd Williams told me tonight he had died. Bill and I go back many years and I have known many of his family members on a personal basis. He was so full of the zest for life it is hard to imagine him gone. Regardless of age, health or any other circumstance we are never ready to give up our loved ones. The only comfort comes from a real Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the concern shown by caring friends. Please know we are thinking of you.
