Bill’s wife wishes all family and friends to remember Bill with this song,
WHEN THEY RING THE GOLDEN BELLS
Don’t you hear the bells now ringing?
Don’t you hear the angels singing?
“Tis the glory halleluiah Jubilee
In that far off sweet forever,
Just beyond the shining river,
When they ring the golden bells
For you and me.
When our days shall know their number,
And in death we sweetly slumber,
When the King commands the spirit to be free.
Nevermore with anguish laden,
We shall reach that lovely Eden,
When they ring the golden bells
For you and me.
