So Sorry for your loss. May all of the cherished memories you have bring you comfort. Dave, you and your family are in my prayers.
Dear Lori and Family, Bill was as close to a brother as our own blood. Our time together, both at Cedar Hammock and in Las Vegas, was precious. We found we had so much in common. We enjoyed each other’s company as much as anyone could. While we are experiencing some dark days right now, the sun will always shine. We will always have the fond memories. “Coastie” meant so much to us. Semper Fi dear friend.
Mr. Powers,
Much respect and prayers go out to you and your entire family.
Stay Strong Bro.
Respectfully,
Charles & Lisa
