Sherri and I were with him. We prayed with Bill and as I concluded with, "Amen," at that very moment Bill breathed his last and was at peace, no longer hurting, no longer suffering. Praise God for His mercy.
Bill lived a life of service to others. There isn't anything that Bill wouldn't do for another person. In fact, that was when he was happiest - using his gifts and talents to be a blessing to others. You couldn't help but be inspired to reach out to others too after having watched Bill offer selfless service to those in need.
Most precious to Bill was his family - his wife, Betty; daughters Sherri and Carrie, his grandchildren, Stephanie, Eric and Katie, and his great grandchildren, Luke, Ethan, Dominic, Emily, Will, Drew and Duke. It would be impossible to number his many friends.
Please pray for Betty and the rest of the family during this time of sadness. We are comforted in God's promises of the resurrection of the dead and the life everlasting.
