Merida, and family
I’am so sorry for your loss, Bill will be greatly missed. I remember all the good times we had together, but one thing stands out about Bill that i will never forget. When we were at Sandy’s and Banjo Jimmy was playing, Bill started singing and i was so amazed, his voice sounded like an Angel. This i will never forget. I’am so blessed that i had the honor of knowing Bill and Merida and family God Bless all and we love you all.
