MRS. FELLS AND FAMILY....
I WAS SADDENED TO HEAR OF WILLIAM'S PASSING. WE WORKED TOGETHER AT RASCO FOR 13 YEARS, AND HE WAS SUCH A NICE MAN. I MET YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN ON SEVERAL HOLIDAY OCCASIONS THERE. HE SHOWED ME PICTURES OF YOUR CHILDREN (ALL GROWN UP) AT WALMART AND HE WAS SO PROUD OF THEM. I JUST SPOKE WITH ONE OF HIS FRIENDS AT WALMART LAST WEEK BECAUSE I HAD MISSED SEEING HIM THERE, AND HE TOLD ME HE WAS SICK.
PLEASE ACCEPT MY SINCERE SYMPATHY FOR YOUR LOSS.

We are connected,
My uncle and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord
That connects us at birth
This cord can't been seen
By any on Earth.
This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my uncle william to me.
The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised...I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
An uncle and niece
Death can't take it away!
Aunt Janice, Junnie & Tia- I love you! And I'll always be there for you.

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.
