Our Family Chain
We did not know that morning that God would call your name in life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our Family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again.

Eileen,

I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I didn't find out until today, otherwise I would have been there in person to offer my condolences. Billy Mac was one of the best guys I ever met, and I was honored to have him as my friend. He will be missed. You and your family are in our Prayers.

Billy,

My old friend although we drifted apart in the years gone by, the times we had have always been some of my fondest memories. Our antics on while hanging out the corner the long ride you shared with me and my family to California, the many beers and laughs we shared together. Patricia, I and the girls will always remember you and you will be forever a part of our lives.

To Stevie, Sheila and the rest of the Family our deepest condolences at this sad time in your lives
