I was Bills barber at Harborchase where he lived. I would shave him weekly. He would only let me do it. I also went to shave him when he had to be in the hospital till I no longer could. We became friends and had many interesting conversations and once in awhile disagreements. We also were members of the same Church. I lost my husband this past year and Bill would listen to my pain and talk with me. At that time and as he became sicker we would pray together. These were very moving for both of us. Relationships are what matter the most. I am very thankful for the relationship I had with Bill. ❤️
