Green Family,
My heart goes out to you during this time of sorrow! I only met “Tutor Bill” a few times in my life but he must have left a lasting impression on me. I always remembered him laughing and having a good time. He looks so much like Aunt Dessie, Mrs. Green, and sometimes like Cousin Charlie. Anyway, I know he was “Good People”.
From my mom , Norma Cooper, and myself, we give our heartfelt condolences.

So sorry for your loss. I pray you find comfort in God’s promise for the future when death will be no more (Revelation 21:4) and when he fulfills his promise of returning our loved ones to life (John 5:28, 29).
