Uncle Bill, I will always remember how loving you were. You always let me sit with you playing domino's for "luck". The truth was I was the lucky one. Thank you for loving us and being the best big brother to my daddy (baby Ray). Now you are with him living the dream and watching over us awaiting our big family reunion in heaven. God Speed dear uncle Bill, you will always be in our hearts. #HarlanRootsRunDeep

Funeral and Cremation costs can be very confusing.
