I am extremely saddened to hear of your recent loss. My father, Ernie Iselin, worked for Bill at the Heidleberg and Carling Breweries for many years and felt very privileged to both know and work for Bill. Bill treated everyone with respect and caring and I cannot ever remember hearing anything, from anyone, that was not of the highest praise. His family, all of you, were also always thought of with the utmost affection. You truly are a wonderful family. I wish to send condolences from myself, and from my fahter who no longer can express himself. Your grief is shared by many. Sincerely, Jeanette Iselin Crippen.##imported-begin##Jeanette Crippen##imported-end##

Dearest Betty and family,
I know your pain and share your grief. I now choose to look at it as these Great Tacoma ELKS are getting ready for Lodge tonight. They will be watching over all of us left behind. I'm sure "the Heart of Elkdom" is always here for us.
