Wendy and family, my deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved husband. He is in the hands of God and the hearts of many. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Wendy, Olivia and Jordan – my heart goes out to you. There are insufficient words to convey my sadness for your loss. Bill and I became unexpected friends nearly 20 years ago when we went to Nursing school at Eli Whitney, where he was again the only male in our graduating class. My memories from that time are not about what a great nurse he was but of how much he loved his family. I will miss my friend.
