Dear Bill,
It has been a long tough year without you. So I am adding this last letter on a more optimistic note. My life was forever changed when I fell in love with you. You gave me the ability to see that people just love because they do. Together we have a wonderful,loving,beautiful family. I hope this book brings comfort to all thru the years. It is my way of honoring the man who fought so bravely thru his illness,always selfless in thoughts and love. living life to the fullest and...

Dad, I cant believe that you've been gone a year already...I can still hear your laugh whenever i think of the conversations that we had. i miss you so much! so much has changed within the year, and i think you'd be proud! graduation, maturity, finding love(with someone who adores the WWE and Buffalo Bills as much as you did hahaha) but I know you're looking down on everyone! I love you dad!!

Bill,
We all Love and Miss you very much. Your laughter and quick humor will always be remembered. You have been so much more than an in-law, you have been a friend. Thank you for all the love, support, and kindness you always gave Donna. I love you for so many reasons, but that is the biggest one. She deserves the best, and you were always defiantly that. God bless, All our love to you (Uncle Bill) Bill.
Calvin, Julie, James and Beth

Bill
a year has gone by and we still think of you each day. We know you were with us during kens surgery and hospital stay. Your unending "never give up" attitude carried us thru and will continue to forever. Words cannot express how much you are missed and how your strength, sense of humor, and love is keeping all of us going each day. Give Dad a big hug for me and make sure he knows we miss him too.
Miss ya bunchie bunches.
