To The Family of Mr. William E. Drake. I was so saddened to hear about Bill's passing. I met him in 1989 when I began at MDHHS. He was very professional and compassionate and always went beyond the call of duty to get things done. I can remember many a time when he worked after 5 PM in order to get things done! Mona, I remember when you and Bill would take those breaks and I thought that was the most beautiful blossoming relationship! He will be surely missed and I know that GOD is with you. I like you became a widow two years ago, but time does help (a little). I wish you and Bill's other family comfort, peace and remember the fond memories! Peace. Mrs. Sheryl A. Johnson, Dowagiac, MI

My prayers for strength and comfort for Mona and the family. Bill was one of a kind, a great person, co-worker and friend. Bill always had a smile, great sense of humor and even made work fun with him around. I got to know Bill not just as a co-worker but as a friend and could always count on him. So many great memories over the many years at DHS. Bill will always be remembered in the hearts and cherished memories of all whose lives he touched. May the good Lord wrap his arms around Mona and family members bringing them peace and comfort at this most difficult time. RIP Bill, fly high with the Angels my friend.
