We’re so saddened over Bills passing. He was a good neighbor and insisted on bringing his newspaper daily after he read it. No matter the weather. We told him several times we would come get it. And to let us ‘at least’ pay half of the subscription. Nothing doing. Bernadine once told us let him do it. He likes it. We have found bags of tomatoes on the porch. We knew where they came from. Lol. We’ll miss him as we do Bernadine. Good neighbors are few and far between these days.
I just learned of Bill’s passing. He was a good, decent, and wonderful man. I enjoyed knowing him and Bernadine very much. My deepest condolences to all of his family and friends. Sincerely Jon Easter.
I’m very sorry for your loss. The Bible can offer much needed comfort at this difficult time. John 5:28, 29 says, “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.” For more information please go to http://www.JW.org.
