WILBERT E. "BILL" HOVEY

Three years, gone so fast, and the ache still remains. I am going on without you but it is not the same, and it never will be. I see your face when I close my eyes, I hear your voice when I sit quietly and recall our conversations and memories. I feel your presence often, but I long to feel your arms around me. I love you, my sweet man. You gave me so much, and I hold on to all that. Until we meet again.

The two year anniversary of you leaving me will be coming up soon. As each day passes life goes a bit smoother but the ache in my heart has never gone away, nor will it. You are in my thoughts daily. The memories of our lives keep flooding my mind. I don't think I will truly ever get over your
departure. I miss you, sweetheart, and I will always love you.

It was one year ago today that I was with you. The sadness I feel without you is hard to bear. I know you would want me to go on with life but it will never be the same. You will always be in heart and I will always love you.

Our prayers are that God will sustain you as you face each day. We will all have wonderful memories of Bill. Memories are one gift of God that death cannot destroy.

Our deepest sympathies go out to you Aunt Rita and to all of Bill's family during this difficult time. Bill was a good man and brought joy to many. Hope all of you can take comfort knowing that and knowing that he is at peace now and will live forever in your hearts and memories. Stay well. Love Kathy and Pete

Rita, our prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time,
Richard and Bonnie Powell

What an accomplished life! A true testament of a good man.

It was an honor to have known Bill. I have the utmost respect for him and loved listening to him talk about his early life. I'm glad Mom and Bill found each other when they did...very good for each other. Bill will be missed very much.
