I met Bill and Velda at South Side Christian Church. Velda and I shared a love for quilting and I spent many hours on their backporch visiting with them while Velda and I quilted. Their love for family, each other and their heavenly Father was very evident. Such good people!! My sincere sympathy to the family. Sandie Whalen
I met Bill and Velda at Southside and what dear friends they were! As to Bill, he took my husband under his wings and when Dick was sick and I had to work, Bill would take him to doctor appt, check on him at home and in the hospital. I needed to work, so Bill was a true blessiing. I remember the two of them would have to wait , in this one doctors office, sometimes 2 hours or more but they never seemed to mind. Bill was always running into some one he knew and they loved to talk. Bill earned his crown and jewels in heaven for all the good things he did for people. He has been missed and still will be a special memory to me. Thank you Bill!
Was sorry to see that your mom and dad had past. My mom and dad went to southside Christian church with them My mom Betty Huff Pritchett grew up with your dad in the same neighborhood. My mom also quilted with your mom. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
