It's not easy growing up without you pops. You are and always will be my inspiration to keep moving forward and overcome any obstacle. I'm sitting here wishing you were here to give me advice but I still remember the last words you told me "Blake, never quit, never give up"
Thanks for the advice dad, I love you.

There is a live concert going on right outside my new home. A young woman is singing "Empire State of Mind". I know how much you loved this song, almost as much as I do. I can't believe I am literally getting to live my dreams. These streets really are making me feel brand new. I know that none of this would be possible without you. Thank you for continuing to make my dreams come true and reminding me that nothing is impossible. You said that you wanted to be able to drop me anywhere in the world and know that I could survive. I hope you're watching, because I think I'm doing a pretty good job. I love you Daddy and I miss you terribly. Happy Father's Day.

Wow uncle it's been a year, not a day has gone by without me thinking about you, you are missed so much. You always told me to work hard and wanted to see me accomplish big things in my life, I just wanted you to know that we just bought our first house, I know you would of been so proud of me, I just wish you could be here to come see it but I know i'll always have a special angel watching over that house and me. Love you and miss you xoxox

One year ago, you left us footprints, and I will spend the rest of my life trying to fill those footprints with my own -- taking every step you took, so that hopefully one day, those steps will lead me to you ... Love you and miss you forever, Daddy

Dear Daddy,
I’m sorry it has taken me so long to leave you a message. I thought that if I wrote something, it would mean that you really are gone. I know it’s your strength that is giving me the courage to write this today.
I’m aching to hear you say “What’s happenin’ kid?”. It’s been so long since someone has called me “Sheeni Meeni” or “Missy”. I think of you every second of every day. I wonder where you are and what you are doing. I often think of your final days with us. I think about what you must have been thinking and feeling. I think about the breaths you were taking. I hope that with each breath you were able to inhale all of the love that this world had, and continues to have for you. You said that you wanted to live to be 100. I promise you that you will. I will never let this world forget you, as long as I live.
When I was little, I asked you to build me a palace to live in. And you did. Before you left, you told me that you would always live in my heart. I promise to build a palace in my heart where you may dwell forever. I promise that it will be a palace so magnificent – fit for a king. My king. You.
I was looking through the book I gave you last year for Father’s Day: “Coach”. I am so glad that you had the chance to read it. You are the best coach I have ever had on the basketball court, on the soccer turf, on the dance floor, and on the field of life. I wish you were here so I could spoil you like all the other kids are doing today. I hope that I did a good job of honouring you and showing my appreciation for you on all the Father’s Days we spent together. And so, not only will I honour you as my father, but today, I will celebrate you as my guardian angel. Thank you for protecting and guiding me today, tomorrow, and forever.
I love you and miss you terribly, Daddy. Happy Father’s Day.

My heart felt a sharp pain when I learned of Bill's passing. I remember our families (yours in Victoria, mine in Port Alberni)being friends and sort of related I guess in many ways. Our families would meet often at special occasions. My heartfelt condolences to the Bedwal family.

I'll always remember Bill cranking up the volume on the radio when a good song was playing, that's the type of guy he was.
As was mentioned at his service, rarely did you hear him say "I", it was always "we". His parents should be proud of the fine man they raised.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that he's gone, but I know my memories of him will be with me forever.

You filled my glass to the brim and told me it would never be empty. I just took it for granted you would always be there to refill it. So sorry.
I will keep my promise brother.

While walking outside on a summer eve
I looked up and saw a shooting star
How neat I thought, how priceless to see
Only to learn that it was you, saying goodbye to me.
You showed me by example what life was about
You were a true inspiration full of food for thought
You touched the lives of each person you ever came to know
You always kept trying – till the end - You lived what you taught.
But - I still can’t believe you’ve gone so far away
It’s not fair Mama Ji – we still need you here to stay.
We have so much more to share with you
And from you there is so much more to learn
I just wish you had some more time here with us
Why did God have to take you away – so out of turn?
Things will never be the same without you –
We`ll miss you more than words can say
But I can promise that your love, advice and encouragement
Will be remembered and cherished with each passing day.
I`ll never forget that summer eve
When I saw you last – my shooting star
I know now that you`re in a better place –
But you’ll always continue to live inside my heart.

I cant believer you're gone mama. I know you're up there watching over everyone with a beer in hand.
You'll be missed very much mama. We will never forget you. I am honored to have known such a great person. I will never forget some of the personal moments that I shared with you, your words will live in my heart forever.
We will watch out for mammi, bebe, papa, Blake and Serena for you, you have nothing to worry about.
May you rest in peace.

I was so very sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I met him only briefly, but he worked with my late husband, George Dobie, for some years. He was a lovely person.

Bill(mamji),
I have no idea what to write, I just wrote and babbled on.
I cannot believe that you have passed - I do not understand why you needed to go? I do not understand why he needs the people that we need here?
You are and will always be a great human being, son, father, husband, friend and our mamji. You will live on in our hearts and memories.
I know that you will see my beautiful mom and dad, please let them know that we are all well and you are there now to comfort them. We will do our best to take care of each other down here.
To the family my deepest condolances. I know how you truly feel and am heartbroken. I miss my mom and dad everyday and I know how much Bill will be missed by all - especially his mom and dad, nikki, his kids, Deep, Randeep, Bin and all other family and friends.
He will be deeply missed and remembered by all. He was a great man and I wanted to thank him when I needed support and when my sisters needed support - he was always there!

In Memoriam
Our lives go on without you
But nothing is the same
We have to hide our heartache
When someone speaks your name
Sad are the hearts that love you
Silent are the tears that fall
Living without you is the hardest part of all
You did so many things for us
Your heart was so kind and true
And when we needed someone
We could always count on you
The special years will not return
When we are all together
But with the love in our hearts
You walk with us forever
Always and Forever in our hearts!!!

Death Is Nothing At All
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
whatever we were to each other
that we still are
call me by my old familiar name
speak to me in the easy way
which you always used
put no difference in your tone
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together
pray smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
without the trace of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
it is the same as it ever was
there is unbroken continuity
why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you
somewhere very near
just around the corner
All is well
Happy Birthday Mama ji love you
B & D
