Kathy & girls, I was so sad to hear about Bill. I was Bill's Admin. Asst. in the Dist. Dept.(1993-95) at Borden and it was my favorite Dept. Bill was always good to me. He always had good stories. He came off tough, but when he talked about you and the girls he became a puppy dog. He was so proud of his family. I have thought about you and Bill a lot over the years. He had asked Steve and I to come down to Baton Rouge to fish, and I am sorry we never made it. I know how much Bill loved to fish. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Farnsworth
