Mona and family, My sympathies and prayers are with you. Though I didn’t really know Bill, I know you both have been friends of my parents, and they’ve shared the prayer requests for Bill with us. We’ll continue to remember you in prayer as you grieve his passing from your presence, even though you rejoice he’s no longer in pain, and is in God’s presence now. It is still tough to say goodbye.
Dear Mona, Donna and Joe Bill and all of you have been on my mind ever since the news of Bill’s illness. I keep thinking, what a gentleman he was, talented in so many ways and such fun to be around. Nice to know he had the comfort of a loving family. Wish Alice and I could be with you at this time.

As you now walk this new path, I pray for you the grace and peace of the Lord. May you know the reality of His presence, the broadness of His shoulders, and the depth of His love. Elaine Weaver, daughter of George & Jinny
Dear Mona, Mel & I have such great memories with you & Bill it’s difficult to think they’re over but as the saying goes “Not Forgotten”.Everyone thought Bill & Mel were brothers & sometimes we believed it ourselves. Mel lost his best friend – if he needed a second opinion he’d always call Bill.Fifty years of friendship, that’s hard to bet. Never thought our Vegas trip in October would we our last. We will think of Bill when we order “fried shrimp” or “fall off the bone ribs”! Our thoughts & prayers are with you, Donna & Gary. Mel & Marge Mel & Marge Harding
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I know what you are going through right now. My husband, Tom died in March and I know that all the prayers helped me greatly. I will keep you and Bill in my prayers.
Dear Mona & Family, Bill’s big, warm smile and fun-loving nature will be sorely missed at the Masters/Chalker family reunions. One of our favorite visits with Mona & Bill was when we unexpectedly ran into them outside the casino in Cherokee, and ended up spending the rest of the day together. A fun and fitting memory in the midst of our sadness at his loss. Our heartfelt sympathy to you, Mona, and all of your family. Love, Jill & Dave

Mona, Donna and Gary, George has shared with you all by phone, but I wanted to add a note here. I remember especially our memories of your very kind hospitality in Florida and where we almost saw a rocket launch one time. Our gratitude when we looked up at our 50th anniversary party in Copley church to see Bill and Mona walking in the door was very special. The sharing with the Burches and you and Bill through the years of Greensburg and beyond was also very special. May you all know God’s comfort and special care in these days and through the months ahead. God bless you each one. Love, Jinny Schreckengost

Dear Mona, I’ll never forget Bill as a wonderful man and neighbor to us when we bought our first house in Green Township. I was always so impressed by all he did and especially his tall tall Christmas tree lights he would put up on his antenna. You could see it for miles away. Maybe he can help up in heaven with some electronic stuff. My heartful sympathy to you and your family.
