Should You go first & I remain to walk the road alone,I'll live in memories garden dear,with happy days we've known.In spring I'll wait for roses red,when faded,the lilacs blue,In early fall when brown leaves fall,I'll catch a glimpse of you.Should you go first & I remain,for battle to be fought,Each thing you've touched along the way will be a hallowed spot.I'll hear your voice,I'll see your smile,though blindly I may grope,The memory of your helping hand will bouy me on with hope.Should you go first & I remain,one thing I'll have to do,Walk slowly down that long path,for soon I'll follow you.I want to know each step you take,so I may take the same.For someday down that lonely road you'll hear me call your name.
To my honey!I love you!

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Bill was a fine, wonderful man. I enjoyed the time I spent with him. He and his whole family were so good to me. I cannot find the words to express how much I care about all of you. I will never forget him or any of the family. He and Billy are together now and that is a comfort to me. Donna Rush Duncan
