Comments
I would like to say a big thank you to all of Dr Bills siblings that helped so much with his care, and his younger Brother John TenHaaf and Donna for giving a beutiful chair for Bill to use and be comfortable in as much as possible, and you had the privilege to spend time with him as well.
May God bless every one during this hard time
Sincerely
Susan Hager ( Julie Helms mother in law and Andy’s mother )
My heart is broken to hear this news regarding Dr. Bill, and yet i am greatly rejoicing in the fact that he is now healthy and whole, standing in the presence of his beloved Savior JESUS CHRIST, as well as reunited with his wife Karen, whom he loved and missed so much.
My continued love and prayers for you all.
Love in Christ, Whitney Baker
