My prayers are with you. It was a pleasure getting to know Bill, Carol, Gary, Melissa, and the kids, and to welcome Kathy into my family. We enjoyed Thanksgiving on the farm, Tyler’s birthday parties in Madison, events at UW Madison, and a cold weekend in Schullsburg. Be comforted in the love of your family and by your memories.

Carol and family, I am so very sorry to read of Bill's passing. Bill truly is unforgettable, I recall all the fun I had waiting on you both when I was younger at the café in SM. And whenever I drive by the farm, those memories come flooding back. Thoughts and prayers with you all during this sad time. I know the memories will be there to help you all. Tina Redington
