       I wouldn't spend that much time talking about YOUR time with
       Bill.
       i would express condolences to her, maybe a memory about
       something good about Bill when you knew him (but not necessarily
       about your time with him)--like, do you remember him telling
       family stories? was he known for working on motorcycles?
       Make it be about her loss, her family's loss, and that you wish
       them comfort and peace.

       I'm agreeing with Toots; I think a short note to the surviving
       sister would be a nice kindness.
       You don't have to include any memories of your time together
       with Bill unless you particularly want to.
       In fact, you don't have to praise Bill at all in your note. If
       you want to, you could just say that you are very sorry for her
       loss and leave it at that.

       Send a note.
       I recently sent an email to a friend because her ex-husband had
       died.  She has been divorced the entire time I've known her, but
       from a few things that have been said, it felt right.  I said
       something about it must be hard to lose someone who has been an
       important part of her life.  She really appreciated it.
       No matter what else, she has lost a sibling, and that is hard.
       If his life did not go well, there is now no chance of it
       changing.  If you have fond memories, share them.
