Although Bill could not attend this year’s reunion, he would like to share his thoughts with us: "Nothing can happen that we cannot handle while we trust in God. He walks with us through the valleys and over the mountaintops. We know that He is there for us and that one day soon, with those who have been faithful, we will meet beneath the tree of life beside the crystal flowing river. Our prayer is that none of us will miss that grand and glorious event—God’s gift to mankind. What a wonderful reunion that will be!" |
