    Dear Jayne Family,
    Even though I didn’t get to see Uncle Bill very often over the past several years he has always held a special place in my heart. To me he has always been an example of a strong, good and wise man and a wonderful uncle.
    Peace be in your hearts at this difficult time.
    Love, Dee Anne
