I work at Indiana Heart Physicians and have registered both Bill & Jane too many times to count...they were not only patients here at this office but I considered both close friends. I am extremely sad to see that Bill has passed but happy that he will be back with his love Jane again. My Condolences, love, and hugs go out to all of their family and friends...he was a wonderful man and I will miss him as I do Jane, very very much! xoxo
