Bill was a great guy. I met him at the YMCA and would see him there several times a week. Everybody at the Y loved Bill, he had such an easy way about him. Sometimes we'd do more talking than working out, but that was ok. Whether it was politics, travel, our families, or his beloved Alabama Crimson Tide, I always came away feeling a little better off for having spent time with him. He had a kind heart, a giving spirit, and an infectious laugh. I'm glad to have known Bill and I will miss him... Phyllis, you and your family are in our prayers. May God comfort you during this very difficult time.

Phyllis - my deepest sympathy to you and your family on the sudden loss of your husband.  Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers have been with you and Taylor
  I am so sorry for your loss. Please, know that your friends care.
In Christian Love,
Irene O'Neill

Phyllis and Taylor, 
My heart is aching for you both.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  After knowing you for so many years, it was only recently that I met Bill. You've always had  such nice things to say about him.  I'm glad you have wonderful memories of Bill. I am here for you; for whatever you need.  If it means coming over and sitting on your back porch, talking; I'm there.  Please do not hesitate to call me.  I mean that from the bottom of my heart.  Much love.
