To my brother, Bill Dunn's children,
I wish to express our sympathy on the loss of your father. I also want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers and that is with lots of love. I truly feel sorry that I can not make it to my brothers funeral, but circumstances here at home with our Julie are out of our hands and in God's hands.
Bill was my friend and I will miss him terribly. I did want to let you know that we can now drop the wild Bill phrase. I remember how proud your father was when he called me and told me he went to church every Sunday and needless to say, I was proud of him also. Bill had opened his heart to the Lord and let him in and there he found peace, hope, love, joy, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and (FREEDOM IN CHRIST) WOW! What a beautiful way to exit your life here on earth.
Love you all so much and we are with you in our hearts.

Aunt Lola and Uncle Red
