Ricky, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. Miss you and will be praying for you and your mom.
Bill was a very special friend and co worker. I worked at M E Carter during the 70's and early 80's. With Bill. He was the same kind spirited man every day and I don't ever remember Bill mad or even had a bad day! Truly a reflection of what a Christian should be! So sorry for your loss!
Ricky,
You and your Mom are in my thoughts and prayers.
Your Friend
