Bill was such a nice, friendly man who I enjoyed getting to know at Waterford. It was so hard seeing him suffer from the stroke. I prayed he would recover but am comforted knowing he is completely healed in heaven and I will see him again. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Sincerely, Arlene (laundry lady)
