I hope that in due time you receive God’s peace that excels all thought, so that it will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. As you know, God is called the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation. Rest assured that he cares for all his creatures and he would never bring us suffering. A soothing scripture is Psalm 34:18 which reads: “Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart, and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” Sincerely.

While today is painful, we hope you are able to find some solace in celebrating the many wonderful memories and impact Bill’s presence had on your lives.
He touched each of our lives in a meaningful and memorable way. While we have not spoken in many years, I am incredibly thankful for the summers spent with Bill and Ty in Charlotte during High School. It saddens me that I didn’t get the chance to let him know how much I appreciate the time we spent together and the lessons learned.
We wish we could be with you today to celebrate Bill’s life and what his presence meant to us. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Steve and the Quintin family.
