My dear sweet brother ,
I hope you are resting in heaven . I love you and your memory will always live on .
In your memory :
Remember me in quiet days
While raindrops whisper on your pane.
But in your memories have no grief,
Let just the joy we knew remain.
Remember me when evening stars
Look down on you with steadfast eyes.
Remember if once you wake
To catch a glimpse of red sunrise.
And when your thoughts do...

I am so sorry for your loss of Bill. I knew him back in Davis Jr High and Bethel High. I remember sitting in the Davis library and he would draw these awesome looking space ships because I love sci fi and I guess we were talking about it. I just remember years later I was always so jealous I could never draw them as well as him. I remember Bill as a very kind and just a great guy that the years I had not seen could not erase.

Goodbye Daddy. I'll miss you so much. I could not have asked for a better dad. He was truly a gift from God. I know that we didn't see each other as much as we would have liked to but I still loved you to the end of the world. I'll always be 'Daddy's little girl'. You helped bring me into this world and I'm so thankful to be here. Now go have fun up there in heaven and start asking all those questions to Robert E. Lee and go sit and talk with Davey Allison. Save a place for me and all the...
