    Oh Chrissy,
    I am so sorry. Just too sad, too soon, too unfair. Bill was out and about enjoying life again. But that at least was a good thing!
    My heart goes out to you.
    Stay strong; I know you can.
    Love, Vonnie xo

    Dearest Chris and Somerville family,
    I am so saddened by this news and the sudden passing of Bill. He was such a wonderful, warm hearted GENTELMAN, and I am certain he will forever be missed by the community he called home. Take comfort in all the wonderful memories that you shared with Bill. As long as you have those memories, he is never really gone. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and most especially Chris in these difficult days.
