Dear Aunt Elsie and Kevin,
You are in our daily prayers.  We love you.  Uncle Bill was such a wonderful man.  .  Love and prayers, Carol and Pairlee

We will treasure the memories we have of Bill.  We spent many fun times together over the years.  I remember the Rook card parties at Bill and Elsie's house, also the fun we had at all of those Green family Thanksgivings.  They were special times.  I know how much he loved his family and how proud he was of Sara and Logan.  Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

I ALWAYS looked forward to Mr. Green coming to our office..I will miss him, and miss Elsie coming through the door with him...He was greatly loved and cared for by our office..We miss him already...Tracey from Dr.Bayron's office.

We are sorry to hear of your loss.  I remember going down south deer hunting with Bill one year.  We were in Bill's van and he wanted me to drive.  I had only had my license a short time and the wind was blowing like crazy.  I was so nervous about driving, but Bill just kept talking to me and we arrived safely.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. So glad I got to see him a year and a half ago. Sure loved him. What a great man. He is rejoicing with his Lord and telling stories to my Mom and Dad. Love, thoughts and prayers to you Elsie and Kevin.

Elsie, Kevin and family....Sending sincere sympathies to you all at this very sad time!  We all will remember Bill fondly for his musical talents....used for the Lord's work! Will be keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.  May the Lord give His PEACE and COMFORT to you Elsie!!.......Blessings!!!

Dear Elsie and Kevin,
I pray God's peace and comfort for you and your family during this very difficult time. Some of the memories I cherish most from my childhood are the Hootenanny(s) with Bill and everyone playing those wonderful Southern Gospel songs which now remind me of just a taste of Heaven! I imagine Bill is getting ready to sit down right now and play a tune for his Savior! Thank you for the memories and I will see you all in Heaven! May the Peace of our Savior be with you in the coming days.

Dear Elsie and Kevin,
Bill was truly a special man.  Fred (at 92 years) remembers Bill fondly. May God comfort you in the coming days and we look forward to seeing Bill in Heaven!

I have great memories of Bill, growing up around him as a small child, teenager. He was so nice. And I always enjoyed the Family of God Singers. So sorry to hear of his passing, but I know he is rejoicing in Heaven with his creator, and Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God Bless you Elsie.

Such sweet memories of Bill playing his guitar for the Family Of God Singers. Love and prayers to Elsie and Kevin.

Elsie and family, your Danville First Assembly family is praying for you and grieve the loss with you.  Everything I know of Bill he was an awesome man of God.  Our church has a rich history with Bill... he was known for his generosity in helping with people and the church. We are praying for you and remembering all the legacy he has given many here.  God's Speed, ~ Pastor David Rumley

Dear Elsie and Kevin,

You have been in our prayers since learning of Bill's Home-going on Saturday.

Bill could have been named, Barnabas, which means “encourager.”  So many memories I have of Bill are in this role.  He patterned his life after Jesus, “a man who sticks closer than a brother.”

I think of Bill as a musician.  Together, he with his vintage C. F. Martin guitar and a Honer harmonica in his mouth, and I, with my tenor banjo, we spent  untold numbers of hours together playing music.  He taught me so much.

Bill, without even thinking about such a roll, was a mentor .  He knew how to do so very many things.  He seemed to live life with the belief that, “If someone could do it, I should be able to do it too.”

Elsie, after talking to you by phone on Sunday, I went into the room which I use as my music practice space and played my banjo for an hour – all the time remembering Bill.  I miss him already and look forward to that great reunion on the other side.

Blessings and comfort to you in the days ahead.

Love, Dave (and Marilyn)

Elsie, may God bless you and your family.  You are all in our prayers.
Love you,
Steve & Pam Young

Such a special man.  We will miss you but we know you are in a much better place than we are. All my love and prayers are with your family.  Until we meet again, in the sweet bye and bye.

Elsie and family, we love you all and are praying for you.
Deanna Green & family
