Bill will be sorely missed. I’m so grateful to have been a part of his last days. I rejoice that he is healed and with Jesus!
How bravely you fought, with smiles all the way through.

My heart is broken for you Darlene
May he rest in paradise. Sending prayers Darlene, for you & your family. ❤️
Farewell my friend. You will be missed by many and forgotten by none.
God bless you all with His peace, strength and most of all His comfort. Bill was such a wonderful person and nephew. Rest in the Lord, sweet Bill.
From all of us at St. Anne’s Orthodox Church, Pomona, CA: what a ray of sunshine you’ve both been from the moment you walked into our church, 8 years ago and how you’ve transformed us. Beautiful church services, all the love you’ve never ceased to express wherever with us in person or far away, the beautiful work Fr. Deacon did for our church making every corner look better than when he found it, his your uplifting words of Sermon or any advice and encouragement for all of us, the smiles, jokes. List goes on.
Memory Eternal, dear Fr. Deacon.
Darlene, our love is with you and your wonderful family.
Dn Polycarp, you and your family have been such a big part of my life when I was at Carpenters Co and St Peters. You are so unique and a breath of fresh air. Now you are breathing in the crystal pure presence of God, as you are now part of the Church Triumphant.
You will be so missed, even by people like me so far away. Thank you for visiting me in my dream, reminding me how special you are and worthy of our love and prayers.
Memory Eternal, Dn Polycarp!
