Anytime I would call the house for Dorothy, Bill would usually be the one who answers the phone. His voice was always so welcoming that I spent time just talking to him. I easily felt the warmth and smile in his voice. I will miss that.
Thank you Bill for always being so uplifting! Dorothy, you are a phenomenal woman and God will see you through. I love you.
