Jim, Bennie, Richard and family,
It broke my heart to hear of the loss of Bill. I remember him well. He was in the Navy when I worked your dairy farm with my best friend Richard. I met him only a couple of times but remember how proud you all were of him and from what I've heard he turned out to be a Great Man of Service not only for our Country but for those who have served our Country. I miss and have always loved you for welcoming me into your family when I was young. I am praying for God to comfort you all in this time of sorrow and pain.
God has rewarded Bill with the ultimate gift of service! He now gets to spend eternity next to him!
I love you alll and I wish i could be there to help comfort you during this time.
My Prayer for you all,
May God Bless your entire family and Bills friends that knew and loved him.
Please God comfort them all during this difficult time of loss and touch thier hearts in a way only you can to let them know that Bill is safe, standing along side of you. Ease the pain in thier hearts and help them remember all the great memories that you gave them by puttin Bill in thier lives for only a brief moment in time. Please comfort them God... In Jesus name I pray and thank you in advance
I love you all.... Klint Betz
