Phoebe & Tison, We were so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. I knew Bill growing up when we use to spend time down at Bailey's river. He was a great guy. Our love and sympathy are with you and your family at this time. We pray that Heavenly Father will bless you with peace and comfort.

Phoebie and family, we were very sad to hear the news of Unkie Bill's passing. He was a wonderful friend to Victor and I. We will never forget our racing adventures with Frampton and Unkie Bill at the helm. We knew we in good hands and there were life long memories and lots of laughter made on those trips. We are praying for you all as you go through this difficult time. God is with you and your family embracing your hearts.
Heaven has gained an angel and he will be watching over us all. Much love, Stacy and Victor

I would like to extend my sincerest apologies to the family and friends of Me. William Ferguson. I have no doubt that he will be greatly missed all whom he encountered.

A Scripture that I hope will be of some support to you is " When my disquieting thoughts became many inside of me, Your [God] own consolations began to fondle my soul. " (Psalms 94:19)

Again, I am sorry for your loss.

Phoebie and family, you have our deepest sympathy. I have had your names on our prayer list at FBC, Statesboro ever since I heard of your need. We will continue to pray that you will find comfort in your great loss.

I know that Bill will be missed not only by Phoebie, Tison, and the rest of his family. I know that when he reached the Pearly Gates there were people there to meet him, Aunt Minnie and the rest of his family. But one special person was there, his son Tim, Tim can now do what couldn't do on earth -- laugh, talk, walk, and run. I know he's so happy to have his Dad there with him. Tim probably took him to meet Jesus, too. One day when we pass from this world, and get to Heaven, we will see Bill and Tim again,
