Bill had received the gift of life and sight through Organ Donations, which we were extremely grateful. This is in thanksgiving for Bill - Whose life was spent climbing a hill. He was tough, but gentle as a lamb And always ready to lend a helping hand. Just knowing him was a blessing to us, Seeing him in West Texas was always a plus. We will really miss the big old grin, He greeted us with - again and again. So let’s thank God for Bill Casey’s life, He has overcome all of his strife. He did the impossible no one else could do, A shining example for all of us, too. God welcomes you, Bill, I know For all your friends, you helped to show You can overcome, each and every day. Just as you did - in your quiet way. In loving memory. Tommy and Charlotte Ewing Permission granted by Observer/Enterprise for publication in the Coke County TXGenWeb Archives
