Condolences for the family of “William McCown”
Will miss you Bill! My brother in Christ.
You knew your Bible backward and forward! Whats it feel like to walk with Jesus in the flesh? Or talk to Paul under a shade or sing with the Angel choir?
Not Goodbye but “Save Me A Spot At The Banquet Table” Til We Meet Again! ❤️
Linda and family, So sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. Last time we talked to him he said he was very weak . you all will still be in our prayers during this time of sorrow. Bill was a very fine Christian man willing to help anyone.
I know Bill is in heaven with the Lord and is happy to be with him. We will all join him there some time in the future. My condolence to his family and I know they will miss him for awhile until they can join him in heaven.
Lynda, what a wonderful picture of Bill. I just know God was with you both every step of the way. You and Paula and all of your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am praying God will grant all of you Peace during this very difficult time. Missing their physical presence is the hardest of all, but know where he is and no more pain and suffering. Hope I can attend the services. My love and prayers to all of you. Mary Lee

We will surely miss him and especially his daily text messages to spread God’s Word. Even in his limited capacity he found a way to serve his Lord & Savior! He is surely in His presence NOW!
Lynda,
What a joy it was to know and relate to Bill. Surely he knew Scripture better than me or anyone else at Westwood. I hope he will say a good word for me at St. Peter’s gate; I may need it!
Grace & Peace to you,
Gayle & Kay
