Aunt Gerry and family, So sorry to hear of uncle Bills passing. Sometimes we say things to freely but to me he was really one of a kind. We could all do with a bit of his compassion and loyalty to others. Sorry I can't travel well nowadays to be there but you are in my thoughts, and I have my memories of us in younger times.

Death is only a single step through a quite door and yet God is on the other side of that door so it is only a little while until we too will take those steps that will join us once again not only with those that we have personally loved and known but with each and every soul God has poured life and love into. Faith is the hand that reaches through that quite door. Death somehow does not truly separate us but in some strange way unites us. In God's beautiful love it unites.Heaven lasts forever and a day.
