My dear Brother Bill. It has been over a week now since you left us. For the first time I feel a glimmer of light in my Heart, and a small piece of energy. I know that God and Mary carried you Home . What a Joy it must have been to see Bridie, Shirley, Mom and Dad, Jack,Jimmy and Ian. And especially our granparents. I am beginning to understand more clearly that we will all meet again someday! I love you and miss you . Say hi to everyone for me, especially Mom and Dad.
