I was saddened to hear of the death of Billy. I went to school with him at Davie Avenue many years ago. I would see him around town and he always spoke. I will miss his pleasant smile. My sincere sympathy to his wife and family. May God be with you at this time.

| I wanted to let you all know how much I love MY UNCLE BILL. He was such a precious soul who loved every minute of his life. I never saw him down. I truly miss him every minute. We tend to take time for granted when honestly we aren't guaranteed our next breath. I am so fortunate to have been able to see him, kiss him and tell him I loved him for the last time till we meet again. God Blessed me with the Greatest Man I have ever known who will always be MY UNCLE BILL..
MUCH LOVE TO YOU ALL, WENDY BOWIE GIBSON - Statesville, NC |

We will all miss Bill. We had some good times at the FD. I will miss seeing him at the COUNTY LINE BBQ. We talked for a good while and ate the BBQ. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Was really saddened to hear of Mr Cook's passing. Mr Cook was a regular customer of ours along with his family at my place of work. He was known as Here comes "Trouble", meaning he had a great sense of humor, always a smile and a hug for you. He will be greatly missed. Sue, Karen, family and friends, May the good Lord bless and keep you always. Sincerely,
Charlotte Miles
