    I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Abbott. I image he was an amazing man. I won't pretend to know what you're going through, but what has helped me deal with the loss of those I love is turning to the Scriptures, something that has been a real source of comfort. One Scripture that gives me hope is Isaiah 26:19, which says, "Your dead will live... Awake and shout joyfully, you residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of the morning, and the earth will let those powerless in death come to life." I hope that this verse will also comfort you, and I hope you and your family can get through this difficult time. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your beloved husband, father, grandpa and friend.. Sincerely, Meryl

    Bill was the security guard at the west entrance to the HO building. The entrance was changed several months ago and the guard station was removed. It was always a blessing to come in every day and see Bill's smiling face there, greeting everyone with such kindness. His was a geniune person and respectful to all. He will be missed by all of us who knew him and pray God comforts the family at this time and in the days to come.

    Bill was a wonderful person and associate. He was a great asset to Walmart. I will miss his smile and how he always took time out of his day to see how myself and my family was doing. It breaks my heart he is no longer here with us. In just a short time I knew him, I will forever be grateful for our many, many conversations!

His personality made you feel good, and he always talked to you and supported the good things and helped you understand the bad. I will personally miss Bill, as many of us will. I'm glad that I had the time I was given with him, and I will never forget him. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Until we meet again, Bill.

    Jody and family, Bill will forever be remembered! He has a kind loving soul that shines through in all things good. His smile is eternal. I will always remember how deeply he loved. He was never embarrassed to show that love. When I think of Bill, a picture comes to mind-he hold your hand walking through the building at Oaklawn. He forever holds your hands. Sincerely sorry to hear of his passing. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
