Our Condolences to Laura and her family during their time of sorrow. So truly sorry for your loss
To Bill’s family, On this earth Bill was one of the most genuine human beings that I had the pleasure of knowing. I had the pleasure of being a Brother Knight with Bill doing several Honor Guard events together with him & knowing him from his Dunkin Donuts years. No doubt, Bill is one that gained his wings expeditiously. Rest in Peace Bill, we got it from here
Laura, I just found out about the very sad passing of your husband. My sincerest sympathies are with you and your family. All of you will be in my thoughts and my prayers.
Sincerely,
Denise Gambardella
Laura, Andrea, Steve and Family,
