Nancy Appleget Sizemore says
I would like to thank all that have taken the time to remember my father. He would be very happy.
I also will miss him dearly. My mornings will not be the same as this was when we always spoke. I will cherish my last evening with dad, when I gave him a kiss told him I loved him and I would see him tomorrow. We never think that tomorrow will never be.
I will miss you dearly dad

Dear Bettie,
I was so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. I remember the two of you being so close and it was great to see you at political things occasionally. I would love to see & talk to Nancy sometime. We had so much fun playing kick ball in the middle of the street & all the hours playing 4-square. As neighbors we had lots of laughs. Times were so different then. I will be out of town on Mon & Tues & am sorry I will miss the service but thoughts & prayers & memories will be with all of you.Would love to see you sometime. God Bless You & Yours, Kathy

Please accept my condolences in your time of mourning. I worked with Bill at Yellow from 1962 until 1978. I always considered him to be a very good friend. .
Tracy Appleget says
Dear Grandma and pa,
Over the years I seemed to have drift farther and farther from you two. I will never forget how grandpa would kiss both my checks before leaveing. Never knowing that that might be the last time. I love you both and always will. I just wish I could have one more moment with you both. I love you and I am sorry. I tried to carry on grandpa’s name if I had a son but I was blessed with a daughter instead. I just wish I took the time to introduce the two of them but I will let both my children know that there grandfather was a wounderful man.
