All week-end long I've been sent adrift on memories bliss. Details of the adventures of a long time friendship with Will. Almost 25 years worth. My sister And I call it... the "Willie crazy stuff we used to do" So many stories to tell of a time that seamed the right place for all of us, as we were young and had our whole lives in front of us. We didn't have a care one, we had each other, as friends and loves and that's all that mattered then and still matters to this day.
Many times a memory will come to mind, and I actually have to stop and laugh. Some of the funest times in my life were spent with him. To have to say good-bye to someone so close to our hearts and very often in our minds doesen't seam fair. I thought we'd all be together forever, but that doesn't seam to be. What eases the hurt just a little is that the memories are still there, fresh, like it happened yesterday, and that one day, we will all be together again, tearin' it up in heaven, Willie, Joe and me and my sister, and of course, our fire extinguishers.
So as most would say good-bye, I won't. But what I will say is this:

Untill we meet again my lost but
not forgotten friend
may the angels
bless and keep you safe.

Memories are wondrous things,
So vivid in our minds,
Always popping into our heads,
At all the needed times.
Memories can heal us,
In our sadness, grief and despair,
We don't really know when they get in our heads,
But they never come out of there.
Memories of loved ones,
Even when we are asleep,
Our dreams we see during the night,
Are the memories we keep.
Memories can make us cry,
Long, sorrowful tears,
And memories can help us remember,
Those no longer here.
Although we would rather be,
Now, with them, right here,
Memories can fill our minds,
With happiness and cheer.
We all have fond memories of Will,
To us, he was so dear,
And although he's gone, he'll always be,
In our memories here.

Will: The tragedy of your passing is so unbelievable. It will never be the same now that you are gone. But, your spirit will continue to live in all our hearts and minds. And, we will always have our memories. Our loss is Heaven's gain and you will be missed.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to your family. We will have good thoughts for you all.

From our family to yours,

StevO, Tammi, Stepheni, Michael and Stephen - "The O'Neal Bunch"

Power Ranger, What happened?
My head turns everytime I hear a ninja.
One of a very few in my life that never took anything from me.
Just always trying to make our world more fun.
