Bill,

I consider myself extremely blessed to have had our paths in life cross. I met Bill in the most unusual way and circumstances. Who knew that in our circumstances two people would meet and become friends? We became friends, we looked out for each other, played cards together, and always enjoyed each other's company. In a place where it is difficult at best to trust others and their intentions is the place where I met Bill and we became very good friends. On my birthday Bill...

I will be missing you everyday "Bull"; that is what I called my brother when we were toddlers. "Bull" is also what I called him when he passed. Bill called me "Waura". Brothers and sisters never grow old. We know each other as we always were.” Love you so very much "Bully" you get some rest and I will see you again
