Before we all went our separate ways in life, I remember many family memories with Bill. Christmas at the farm, Sunday dinners at Nannie and Pops, Bill and Marian's wedding and first years together are only part of the good memories I have. What I remember most about Bill is that he took care of the most important things in life with love. He was a good and honest man, a good brother and an especially good husband and father. Bill, you will always be in my memories and in my heart. I love you. Rick

I was feeling so good, No worries to see. Then that fatal afternoon, Took you away from me. I know you're still here, Standing next to me. Your warmth I feel all around me, It's just your face I can not see. Your up in the heavens, So far away. But you will always be in my thoughts, Each and every day. You taught me to love life, And to see things thru. But this is one of the hardest things, I will ever do. I have to let you go, Although I don't want to. I really have to do it, God has bigger plans for you. We will all miss you, In many different ways. But we will be together again, In not so many days. Now I must let you go, I'll love you with all my heart. God has big plans for you, And this is how it starts. Just walk right thru, Those big pearly gates. Where there is no evil, No killings, no hates. Release my hand, But stay in my heart. My LOVE for you, Will never part.

I will never say goodbye to you my Father cause I know this is not the end for us to see each other. You will only be going to a place where there’s no pain nor suffering. I am happy for you, for you will be with God. For now we need to go in separate ways. I remember how your arms hold me and give me strength. You were always there to listen, love, and defend me in everything. You were my very best friend. In my triumphs you were always proud. I’m very grateful and proud to call you my dad. Here deep inside my heart you’ll always be. I would give up everything I have just to hug you one more time. I remember the last time I hold you’re hand and how you looked at me in the eyes. If only I could turn back the time I would have never let you go. I felt the world stops and my heart stop beating when they told me you’re gone……. How I wish I was only dreaming. Just like the rain; tears fell down from my eyes, I couldn’t speak for a while. Thank you Dad…. For always understanding, listening , caring, and loving me for the rest of your life. The greatest gift God gave me was YOU…….. my Dad… It’s difficult to let you go but I must… I must return the gift God gave me… Till then; See you in Heaven………

Dad - Your battle is now over, no more tears flowing down your cheek, no more pain, no more suffering, now you are no longer weak. I still do not understand why this had to happen to you, but I am proud to say you are my dad, the greatest man I ever knew. You were always there for me and never once made me cry, until the day you closed your eyes and had to say goodbye. Now you are my Angel, so spread your wings out wide, please wrap them around me whenever you see me cry. Our time together was memorable and God took you way too fast, But the most precious thing to me was you being there for my first breath, and me being there for your last.
