Bill,
I am so sorry. If I had only known, I would never have bothered you with my bike concerns yesterday or today. You were so kind with your time. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

Oh my God, Bill so sorry to hear of your loss. Words can not express what I feel right now. My prayers are with you. Keep the strength brother.
Better sorry for failing then for the lack of trying.

My deepest sympathies for your loss, Bill. I've been through the experience as well, and I simply have no words to express my sadness for you except to say that even this pain shall pass away and will be replaced by loving memories. My prayers for you and yours. RR
