I dated your dad at Marquette University and thought he was the kindest man there. I think of him every September 1 and recall his telling me that he was named Bill because bills come on the first of the month.

I would like to extend my condolences to Mr. Willems loved ones, and share with them these loving promises from the Scriptures. Jehovah God is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit. And he will wipe away the tears from all faces. Psalms 34:18; Isaiah 25:8 NWT. In the future, people all over the earth will not suffer illness ever again. No resident will say: " I am sick." Isaiah 33:24; Psalms 37:11, 29 NWT. Peace, and happy memories continue to be with you.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

As a child I always looked up to cousin Bill who seemed so smart and industrious to me. I was in awe of him when he became a neurologist. May God now give him the peace for which he searched during his last years on this earth. My sincere sympathy to Heidi, Wendy, Michael and to his two loving sisters, Sister Mary Alice and Mary.

I feel I was given a second chance to reconnect with Bill over the past months. He's still the big brother so important many years ago.
