Uncle Bill is kind, generous and funny. I remember the silly songs he taught me as a kid, the wonderful food he made at my wedding and how he always showed me how much he loved me. I will miss you Uncle Bill but look forward to seeing you again in heaven.

I love you and miss you Uncle Bill. I will miss your big laugh always heard at our family gatherings. I have so many wonderful memories. Probably my favorite memory is putting on a puppet show with Uncle Bill and my cousin Jessica.

Dad you were my best friend, words can't begin to describe how much I miss you! You were the best dad and I was so blessed that God chose you to be my father. I will cherish every memory I have because of you. You took the time to make memories for all of your kids and grandkids. You were so loving and caring. The most dependable man in my life and you set such a great example of what kind of person God wants us to be. You gave so much and expected nothing in return. You touched so many lives. I miss your laugh, your smile, and the look you would always give me that meant everything is going to be alright. I wish I could hug you one last time and tell you I love you. You were the best dad and I will miss you so very much! R.i.p. dad I love you and will see you again!!!
