The loss of Bill is so tremendous and unexpected it is still surreal.
Our time with him was far too short, but those moments were often wonderful. I would give anything for a chance to tell Bill to his smiling face what he meant to me.
He was kind, generous, loving, loyal and fun. He was so much more than a friend. I am so blessed that he brought me together with your family & his dear friends. I see him in each of you.
I hope you find comfort in your memories. Bill's friendship & love will never be forgotten or taken for granted.
I am sorry. I wish you peace. I love you.
