I had the privilege of knowing "Bill", as he preferred we call him, before his beloved Grace went Home. I was the Activity Director at St. James House & he would stop in to see me each day while visiting Grace. When he became a resident he was so active in all of the events we planned. He made it a point to welcome new residents & visit them daily. He was such a joy to staff members & very much loved. Bill and I had many talks in the afternoons in my office...often about Grace, Heaven, the Bible, family members & his love for God. I truly loved this dear man & have missed him so much since my retirement!!! See you back at the House Bill...give Grace a kiss for me!! ShirleyB
Luann,
Mr. Cochran was one of the sweetest residents at St. James, always looking out for others and always asking about my Mom. He is in Heaven now with my Mom who left just one week before him. I know he is rejocing with Grace and his whole family. Thoughts and prayers for your entire family.
He is a true inspiration....he will be missed. Now the 4 Musketeers are together again and well on their way to that great fishing hole.
