William Arthur "Bill" Erwin

MY DEAREST BILL,

THIS DAY, THE 4TH OF JUNE, WILL ALWAYS BE A SPECIAL DAY FOR ME

FIFTY FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY, DADDY WALKED ME DOWN THE AISLE AND GAVE ME TO YOU IN MARRIAGE LITTLE DID WE KNOW THAT WE WOULD ONLY HAVE 45 YEARS TOGETHER. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THAT TIME WITH YOU. WE HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE TOGETHER.

YOU WOULD BE SO PROUD OF OUR WONDERFUL FAMILY. MICHAEL AND JULIE ARE ENJOYING THEIR GRAND KIDS, PARKER, RYLIE AND, SOON TO ARRIVE, LOGAN. WHAT A JOY THEY ARE!...

Dear Bill: I can't believe it has been so many years since you went to be with our Lord. I think of you often and so wish I could phone you and just chat. Susan and I were in CA this past spring and we stopped by to see Beverly. Wish we had more time to spend with her, but she also was busy. She says the family keeps her busy and the senior center also. She seems to be OK. Susan says she promises to keep better in touch this year than she did in the past.

We bought a new house...

Happy Birthday Bill. Oh how I wish you were here to sail with Mike. He would love nothing better! I also wish you were here to be a part of Parker and Rylie's lives. You would have gotten a kick out of their personalities and would have enjoyed them so.

Bev misses you so much but is doing well. She knows that is what you want for her. She is still busy at the Senior Center. I don't know what they would do without her! She is also a blessing to Michelle as she helps her whenever she can...

My Dearest Bill,
This would have been your 75th Birthday.
How I wish you were here. We would have been out celebrating, big time. Julie always remembers our "Special Days" and
invited be over for dinner tonight.

Life has changed so much since you left me. The Granddaughters are mostly
grown. Haley will be a sophmore and is
still playing soccer and has added LaCrosse to her skills, playing both in
her freshman year at Corandelet. Steph

Hi Mr. Erwin, I wanted to leave you a note to say thank you for all that you did for us. You treated us with respect and dignity and helped us find it in ourselves.

I am from the class of '86 at Mt. Diablo and I was a freshman when you first came to the school in ’82 and bailed us out as we didn't have a teacher. You created an extra class (Electronics X) when I maxed out what I could take and you let me be your teacher assistant for an additional class (you gave me a pass that...

Great Teacher!

Hi Bill,
Just thought I would wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year since it is just around the corner. I hope you enjoy your day. My dad is doing ok these days.
I'll close for now. Love Tammy

Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart. This would have been our 47th. The kids took me to dinner in honor of our Special Day. How I wish you were here. I miss you so much. I am so glad that we had 45 wonderful years and that I have so many great memories that we made during our time together. I feel so blessed to have had you in my life. The kids have been such a comfort and support to me. We sure have a great family. Another of God's wonderful gifts. Until we meet...
