" Don't grieve for me, for now i'm free
I'm following the path God has laid you see..
I took his hand when i heard him call....I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day ..
To laugh, to love, to work , to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way........
I found that peace at the close of the day........
If my parting has left a void......Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss....Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow....
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much....Good friends,good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief...Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.......God wanted me now; He set me free!!"

Bill, I never had the honor to meet you in person, but I know you where an amazing man in so many eyes. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have been blessed by your daughter Shelly in my life. Shelly, I love and miss you so much. I can't imagine your pain and emptiness you have felt this year and I am so sorry I wasn't there. But, though it is never enough time, I am so glad that you finally got to have that time with your mom and dad. May God bless and hold all of you close in this trying time and fill you with happiness and joy in celebrating the life of your dad. ♡

I am so blessed to have been your baby sister. You were my confidant, my partner in crime (lol) as teenagers. I could tell you anything. Even through the the last few years and the distance i could talk to you and afterwards know that all was good. You will forever remain in my heart. One day we will be together again. Love your sis.

Uncle Bill,

You are so missed by us all. Hope you know how much we loved you and enjoyed our time on Earth with you. You always had a way to make me laugh. You lived your life your way, and shown us all that we must have laughs and love. I will forever remember when you and Aunt Rose lived in Hillsboro near Grandma and Grandpa, and you always spent so much time with your nieces! You inspired the love of pool in me; you and Mom did for sure. I choose to remember all of these good memories and I will forever remember all the laughter you brought into my life. I miss and love you so much. Rest easy Uncle.

Bill, you are one of a kind. You will be missed, and I regret not being able to visit with you over the years since you lived in Texas. I have fond memories spending time at my Grandmother's house with you and your kids. I especially enjoy the summer I spent helping you install antennas on the weekends, and remember when your kids and I attempted to build a club house, and you arrived from a day of work to finish it up. Rest well my friend.
