In Loving Memory: Bill Thornburg- Bill served with his wife Marlene as volunteer coordinator at Union Gospel Mission for many years. Bill passed away on January 27, 2008.  He will be deeply missed by Union Gospel Mission's staff, volunteers and residents of our LifeChange recovery program.  Residents of LifeChange remember Bill as their "Dad" in recovery.  Our prayers are with his wife Marlene, his stepson Dan Nelson, a Union Gospel Mission staff member, and the rest of Bill's family.
