Just saw Bill’s obituary. My sympathy to Mickey, Mike and family and the rest. Bill and Mickey go back in my life a long, long way. Most of the members of First General on the corner of Oak and Drew I had known as long as my parents. Bill and Mickey are included in this group. That tiny church had a huge, huge impact on my Christian walk, life. I have often said when I face God on judgment day, I will be held at a higher bar than most simply because I have had the fortune of not only having tremendous parents, but a whole multitude of church members steering me in the correct direction. If I veer from the path – it is my fault. Cannot attend the service, I am already committed to help with the Swim Meet being held at Willow the exact same time. Sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you regardless.

Dear Mickey, Mike and the Frommel family,
I am saddened to hear of the passing of my Uncle Bill! He always treated me with kindness and generosity. All of you were such a big part of taking care of my Dad when he was living in Willow Springs and I cannot thank you enough for the love you showed him. I and my family appreciate all of you! I know your hearts are heavy with his passing. I like to think that he is having a very happy reunion with his brothers, sisters and Tom. I cannot express the sadness that I feel. I am here for you always!
With much love,
Denise
