Doug and I send our love. Our thoughts are with you this week- wish we could be there Thursday. We will see you when we get back. And Elaine you and I will quilt and you can share your memories of Bill.
I am glad we got a chance to know Bill and I will never forget that he and Gypsy got along so well! Words are so inadequate, so hugs. We are glad he didn’t have to suffer a long time, but sad he went so quickly…

Dear Elaine and the Luyten family
We were very surprised to hear of Bills illness and passing. Sometimes in life we take for granted that time will not change things. Not seeing Bill on Line 6 will be one of those things He was a hard worker and loved farming his land. Rest in eternal peace Bill…a rest well earned
