I am left without words. Bill was a cousin and a role model in my live. I had the wonderful gift of spending many hours listening to stories that I thought sounded unimaginable but I would hear the same stories from my dad. They always matched and confirmed how amazing their lives were. I always believed in Jesus Christ and attended a couple of Churches in town. While on a hunting trip while sitting by a campfire waiting for David's famous "dump cobler" we started talking about Jesus and before long he had missionaries at my house. At the time, I didn't know how much that would change my life. He gave me the opportunity to truly know Jesus and the plan for salvation. I am now sealed to my wife and I know he is with his enjoying the kingdom he worked so hard to attain. The funny thing is that I don't think he really had to work very hard to get there because it was just in his nature to help everyone.
My prayers are with all of my cousins and their families at this time. Just remember, he is where we all want to get at some point and is celebrating.
