Bill. Thinking of Audubon and the third grade and looked you up. Even as a child your kindness made an impression on me. Years later you cut my hair at the Mane and surprisingly enough you recalled those early school years as well. I was sorry to learn of your passing in 2009. Its 2018 and I still remember you fondly . I'm sure there was a place waiting for you in heaven. You will always have a place in my heart.

Uncle Bill you will be missed by many. I can remember when uncle Bill put me and my sisters in beauty pageants after being "done up" at the Mane Stop Salon. My father, Chuck Kingsland, shared many years with you as did Gina and I. Tony our hearts go out to you in this time of grieving but know in your heart that Uncle Bill is now in a better, safer, more glorious place than we could ever imagine. He has touched many lives and will continue to do so in spirit! "I'll fly away oh glory, I'll fly away to the gates of Heaven by and by, I'll fly away!"

Bill is the definition of a best friend. He was always there when I needed him - good times and bad. I am so lucky that he was a part of my life. You have now joined Fred and I know you two have reunited a life time friendship that started on Pine Street in Aubudon.

Tony - stay strong and hold onto all your great memories with Bill.

I will always remember the kind hearted person you were. I wanted you to meet my son Jake because I know you would have been really happy for me. Now, you can see and watch him from a better place. With love always, Amy

Uncle Bill, my friend, my Mentor, my confidant, my spiritual adviser, my psychic healer! I don't think I'll ever meet anyone quite like you, ever again. I will miss you so much while we're apart, but you'll be in my heart, now and forever, until we meet again.

Love always,

Bill was a great teacher. I trained under him in the late 80's. He was such a loss to our field when he retired. I still remember many of his clients and when I'd see him I'd always ask how they were.
I'm going to miss him.

Kristina Lamb

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
