Dear Silly Billy... I'll never forget the voicemail you left before my first Christmas in Seattle 2004... you sang, 'I'll Have A Blue Christmas' in your beautiful, rich Elvis voice with all the intonations... even know that recording is lost... I can still hear it with your little cheerful giggle at end... see you soon enough my friend... I'm WAY overdue for a Billy Bear Hug...

Another year without you in our lives. You´re always in my heart my little puppy.. I remember coming home from school and you would be waiting in the front yard for me pretending to be the most adorable puppy. Love and miss you so much, Donna

It's hard to believe that it has been eleven years since you left us. I will always miss those beautiful blue eyes and the feel of your great bear hugs. I know that you are in a better place with Ma, Dad & Peach but I still miss you so much. I'll love you forever baby brother.

Happy Birthday sweet brother. My heart is so filled with joy to know that you are celebrating your birthday with mom. I know you were her guide to heaven and that too makes my heart lite. Take care of each other and watch over us all as I know you do. You are still so missed everyday and I look forward to the day that I can hug you again. All my love forever and a day. Kiss that sweet little woman for me too.

Happy Birthday, Daddy. I know that you have been with us so much over the past week. You were with Gram in her final hours, you were with us while we walked. I miss you and think of you all the time. I saw you in my dream, last night- walking through the kitchen. Next time, come say hello. I need a hug from you. I love you, Dad. GBYRG!!!

Death ends a life, not a relationship.
June 7, 2010
In a few short days, this book will close but you will NEVER go away. These entries are a testament to what an amazing human being you were and how you touched people in the short time you were with us. As long as I am on this earth, your memory will NEVER die. I love you with all my heart and will always be grateful for the time we had together. Forever your biggest fan.....Peach xoxoxo
June 7, 2010
As I sat on my porch last night, the night was quiet & still. I thought of you & asked for a sign to let me know you were there. At that moment in the darkness my yard danced with fire flies. It feels like your passing happened yesterday, my heart is with you. I carry the #19 your sister gave me at the cemetery & it makes me feel safe & protected. I am looking forward to the days ahead when Colleen can share all the wonderful stories about you & through you we will share that common thread of love for a beautiful human being....you Billy.
June 6, 2010
Billy, I just want you to know that even though this guest book will close soon, I will continue to think of you every day. Our "friendship" has meant so much. Love you miss you
June 5, 2010
Just wanted to say one final goodbye to a lifelong friend before this is closed. You'll be missed but left a lifetime of memories for us all. Stay safe my friend.
May 18, 2010

May 17, 2010
It has been a year since I was told that morning you were gone. I could feel you and a lifetime of memories fly past.
My only regret was and is we had no time to say good bye!
May 17, 2010
I imagined us all day Sat. just watching the stooges..I could hear you laughing.. I could see you smiling. I miss everything about you.
Peace always, Pic
May 15, 2010
I can't believe its been a year. Hope you're at peace and we will always remember good times. A little of you is with everyone who has come to know you over the years. Moving forward you'll always be in our thoughts and prayers. Thankfully you've left us with enough tales for a lifetime lol. Until we all meet up again say hi to Fitz. God bless Jaime, Colleen and the rest of the family. I'm sure he's watching over us all.
May 13, 2010
I'm praying for Billy's family.
I'm praying you feel God's healing touch~

May 13, 2010
Hey sweetie, can't believe it's been a year. My heart still aches every time I think of you and your laugh and the fact you will never hug me again. I know I will see you again someday but it doesn't soften the pain NOW. You are always in my thoughts. I hope you have found peace and know how many people love and miss you every day. Thanx for the pennies, especially the crushed one on the tracks. I miss and love you "ya knucklehead!"

Hey Billy, In a few days it will be a year since you left us. The pain of losing you is still very strong, the memories are sweet. I cry for you, I cry for me, I cry for your friends and family. I pray someday we will meet up again and I will see your beautiful blue eyes and that wonderful smile. Miss you
Love you
May 10, 2010
Can not believe it has almost been a year. Not a day goes by that I don't wish things could have been different. Such sorrow for what could have been. I can feel your presence when I call upon you, I know you are there when I am happy & when I am feeling sad. I see your blue eyes smiling & I know you are at peace. Forever in my heart.

Happy New Year Billy boy!! Today is dads 10th anniversary and I know, one of the worst days of your life. I feel you are together today and that makes me smile but to know that I will never see your sweet smile again just makes me sad. Know that I am thinking of the both of you toasting in the New Year and watching the 3 stooges as I will be doing. Sleep well sweet brother and hold a spot for me at the bar.

Bill, Lately,every day has been a fog. The thought of Christmas without you is so unreal that my mind cannot comprehend it. Your love of Christmas was contagious...the reason why I could celebrate. Your laughing, your love, your hugs, your freakin' scratch tickets!! I miss them all. I expect to feel you at the table when we are all together thinking of you. I love you now, tomorrow and always sweet brother <3.

Dearest Billy you have been on my mind constantly. You always loved Christmas so much. It is approaching quickly and all I think of is all the Christmases we shared. I love the memory of you (about 2 yrs old)trading your scrambled eggs for the dog food! I miss your bear hugs; they were soooo comforting. I love you.
