William Nelson

Feb. 9, 2025: Dear Pamela, I don't know if you will ever see this, or if it will be posted when I send it. I am 12 years late in finding that you have lost your dear sweet husband. I found my way here after seeing you and listening to your TEDx talk. I am sorry for your loss. But I am filled with the joy you shared your story. You are so right in everything you said, so sweet, and so cute too. I was just an art student at BHC (80-90s) and I admired your work and you. I once gave you a Polly...

I love this picture of his sweet face from the 2001 Inauguration.

Oh Pamela, I am so sorry for your loss. I've thought of you and Bill many times through the years. Bill was so kind and I feel like I've known him as long as I've known you. Peace be with you and God bless Bill on his journey. Best of everything to you, Pamela.

We loved you very much -- for your good spirits, your warm friendship, and your fun-loving ability to entertain us in the most unexpected ways. And your ability to take life as it comes, and make the most of the time you were given. Rest in peace.
Love, Janet and Jon

Good show William on the way you managed to be such a wonderful teacher to so many! I'm certain you will be missed and celebrated for years to come by the earth angels who have stayed behind while you, dear brother William, journey forth. May all love surround you <3 Gayla

My heart hurts finding out that Bill passed. I worked @ The Dallas Zoo early in my career as a monorail driver with Bill. He was always cheerful and full of happiness. I'll never forget him. Rest in peace my friend.

Bill touched and will be remembered by many people and generations. He created joy and celebration where ever he went. My wish is that the love he showed to others will fill the hearts and comfort Pam and the nelson family. Jo Ann Hart
