I thought about you a lot more than usual this week. It´s hard to believe you are gone and it´s been a year without hearing your voice. I thought about the many long conversations we would have and all the words of encouragement you would give me. I´ll never forget how it warmed my heart when you told me "how proud you were of me" it meant the world to me. I really miss you, life just isn´t the same without you in it.

Bill " Big Baby" was the 1st person I met when I moved to dayton, from Steubenville and lived next to him in northland for a minute, He treated me and my family like we was his family, never can say thank you enough. Heaven got a real one for sure.

I've always looked up to my big brother Bill Bill. He showed my how to fight and taught me how to drive. He gave me advice and kooked out for me. I will miss our long conversations while we both drove semi's to keep each other awake. Thank you for being my brother and helped keep us all safe. I love and miss you forever. I'm proud of you and I know momma is too. You did a good job! I love you Bill Bill
