William Adkins

Dad, How I miss you so. You were taken from us way too soon. I would give anything for one more phone call, one more I love you, one more lots of things. Love you lots.

Sam, so sorry for your loss. I wish you blessings during this difficult time.

Dr. A, I loved bantering with you. I got your sense of humor and I could dish it right back at you. You brightened up my day. I'm so glad you bought a new doctor's bag. You so deserved it. Jenn Hellenbrand

My initial meeting with Bill and Lorraine was at their home at Lakewood Gardens. They warmly granted my request to administer a standardized intelligence test on both Sam and Katie for my graduate school course. This is one example of their openness and willingness to help others. I worked with Bill at Central Center and saw his intelligence and compassion in working with residents, their families, and staff. He will be missed.

Kati, Sam & Skylar- I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad & Skylar's grandpa. Bill was always very nice to me and our whole family. Losing a parent is hard and I sometimes still catch myself grabbing the phone to call my mom to tell her about something. Be patient and kind to yourselves. Love, Linda & family
