To the Glowacki Family,
As you all know Bill and I were very close for a substantial period of our lives; if you looked up the definition of a "truly good guy and human", there would certainly be a picture of Bill; apparently that overused statement, that you don't miss something or someone until they are gone, is indeed a truth.
Bill, my friend, I miss you.
Love,
Norman

Mike, 1st, I want you to look up into the sky & say Thanks Mom, you know why. I do, it was a great moment.

To the rest of your family, I realize this will be somewhat lenghty, & I am sorry, but hope you will like it.

I have to refer to my daughter, Victoria. And yes it brings tears to my eyes as I type this. She, as a child that does not yet understand the complexities of life & death put it rather simply.

"So is Billy living up in the sky now? Will he be making Rainbows? I guess he'll be their untill he resets."

Now, she claimed, she didn't remember Billy, but didn't want to mention that to MJ or Mike because.
"I didn't want to upset or hurt them because I remember him." However, as she continued. "I remember one time he made a hotdog for me, just for me, he cook it on the grill and cut it up for me to, that was a nice thing he did, I remember that." Saying all this while smileing.

Now he did this last summer when Victoria was 4 years old.

I had to tell Mike, we both teared up.

Remember eailer about Billy living in the sky, & a rainbow that my Daughter Victoria mentioned?

* * * * *
OH MR. SKY

Oh Mr. Sky so heavenly and blue,
See how I meditate, upon just you.
I can see your rainbow,
Within clouds of white and blue.
Over mountains so distant,
Of purple, hue.

It brings to mind when I was a boy,
Not older than seven,
So full of joy.
I wondered about you.
With, your beautiful ray.
Fascinated so.
I remembered this day.

Surprised I was, with open mouth,
Sizzled with joy, I began to shout!
If I could sit upon your throne,
I would see all the treasures,
Of, the colors you own.

I would tell them, all my friends,
I sat on your rainbow,
And walked to it's ends.
All of your colors.
Of, orange, yellow and gold,
Would be mine forever,
To cherish and hold.

Beyond the deep forest and over green hills,
I see your rainbow,
And remember still.
****************

Yes, Bill you are a Rainbow & always will be, and though I tear at this very moment, You Bill made my Daughter Smile.

Love you, Joey.

Michael, Kathy & MJ

Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he passed away.
Bubba, Your friendship will surely be missed, Our sorrows extended to your family.
