Read MoreUncle Bill, it is with sadness in our hearts to let you know Mom passed away Saturday January 11, 2025. Some how I think you already know that. I bet you were already sitting on a cloud together, having a glass of wine saying "what took you so long, Sissy? Pass the Guda, please". Take care of Mom for us and we'll keep an eye on Dad here on earth. We love and miss you.

Uncle Bill,
For now, I can only let you know I have not begun to let go and that is how it is going to be. I have not the strength or the words to say how I feel, but as you have told me, someday I will. We talked many times about settling with being comfortable. You always told me it was my choice and I was the only one who could change my life. However, like those slippers in the back of the closet you would never think of getting rid of, you have been there for me and will be...

....once the ashes have scattered to the wind, what's left behind is the distinct signature of what has passed...an ending and a beginning. For destiny's mark is the foundation onto which we build anew...

Uncle Bill
I would sincerely like to thank everyone who has submitted a post here. I realize how hard it may have been for many of you and I feel some of you may have more to say, but just aren’t quite there yet to be able to voice those feelings, and that’s okay.
I made a very short post back in October when the Legacy was first made available. I wanted to say something, to write my heart out on these pages. I wanted to be angry with everyone, especially God. But instead about the only thing...
