When I am dead, my dearest

When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may...

Wanda,
We have lost a wonderful friend.We truly appreciated Bill's and your friendship. I know Bill will truly miss him. We Love You.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Dear Wanda,
I just heard about Bill and I wanted to express my most sincerest condolences. I pray God's comfort and strength for you at this time.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

A mixed time for you I know. You miss and will miss Bill , BUT YOU WILL SEE HIM AGAIN. Bill is IN YOUR FUTURE. That is soooo great. Just a couple of years or so ago You Cound Not Have Said That.
You Won't have to wait Long Wanda... We are going home soon.. all of us. Now THAT is going to be a PARTY !!!

Love You.

Wanda-We were so sorry to hear of Bill's passing but are comforted, as I know you are, to know where he is and Who he is with now. We pray there will be many around you in the coming days who will encourage you and lift you up, as you have always done for others.

Sincerely,
Thomas and Jessica Mason (Parkway)

Uncle Bill,

This is for you.. I Love You DEARLY and Always will. I am very thankful for the times that I had shared with you and Aunt Wanda as a child in NY in Aunt Wanda's Red Car you would let me sit in your lap and drive the car. I have NEVER forgotten that. And in my growing years becoming an adult in Fla. Those memories are cherrished..One sticks out as I write: pull my finger! and the way you could say something in perfect form and then turn it around. It took me a bit to get it...
