Dear Bonnie and family,
I heard on Tuesday that Bill had passed away. I was in the middle of helping set-up the trade show booth for PDC in Las Vegas at the Navigator conference. I felt so sad because I knew there was no way I was going to make it back to the viewing or the funeral and even sadder because I let myself be caught-up with all the work to be done before the conference and didn't take the time to visit Bill and tell him how much I like and love him.
Bill had his priorities down much better than I. He knew what really matters in life. As I reflect on his example, I have learned yet another of many lessons from Bill, put first in your life what should be first and don't let anything else take it's place. As the Savior taught, so Bill followed. I will miss Bill, his sense of humor, his optimism, his gift of making me feel great about myself because he always had a sincere compliment to give.
What a wonderful life and I know it still is.

Dear Bonnie and Family,
I am heart sick. I just opened my email which read sad news from Rob Reese.It is 11:45 Tuesday night. I could not go to sleep with out letting you know how terrible I feel not to have know and been able to pay my love and respect. I love you and Bill with all my heart. I have looked faithfully in the newspaper almost daily to be sure that I did not miss Bill's passing. I have deep feeling and precious memories of times spent together. I would not have missed expressing my love and gratitude to Bill and you for your great contributions to my early life for any thing in the world. Now I discover that I have missed everything. I am saddened beyond words.Not one friend called me to tell me of his passing and I did not see it in the newspaper. I can't believe that he is gone and I was not there to say good bye. I can not describe my feelings to have missed expressing my love to you and your family. Please forgive me. I would have been there if I had know no matter what. I pray for you and for your family. I know that you and Bill have a cherished and eternal relationship. I pray for the Lord's spirit to be with you, to comfort and bless you each day.
I hope to see you and talk to you soon.
With deepest love,
Lee

Bonnie and the Lloyd family:
I am here in Las Vegas at our annual Navigator conference for Emergency Dispatch. I joined MPC/PDC in 1990, when there were 6 of us. To look around here at the 1000+ people in attendance, and the nearly 100 people who work for our company, now - Bill is so present at the moment. I came to Salt Lake City and you both opened your door to me. Bill's commitment to excellence, his drive, and his wacky humour that defused many a potent argument - all of those things was inside of Bill as a family man, a spiritual leader, and a giant of a human being.
I acknowledge Bill for his fight with cancer, and living life to the fullest in the face of circumstance - as only he could. We honored him today at the closing ceremony with a moment of silence and, for me, a prayer of thanksgiving.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~Kahlil Gibran
With our love, Rich, Susan, Katee and Rachel Saalsaa

Dear Bonnie and Fsmily,
I was saddened to read of your husband's death, but found the obituary uplifting and positive. You two make an extraordinary pair! I'm sure you are grateful for the years you've had together, and that now Bill is free of pain and suffering.
May the Lord's choicest blessings be with you and your family.

Bill Lloyd was among the best, brightest and caring members of our community.
I first knew Bill 50 years ago as a student campaigning for student body president at East High School and I was happy to vote for him.
25 years later, I met him again at Clayton Intermediate School, when he asked to meet with me to ensure the success of two of his sons.
Later still, and back at East High, I enjoyed watching how Bill and Bonnie lovingly monitored and supported Sheff, Wes, Merrilee & Ivey throughout their high school careers.
His example with his kids was a model for all fathers, myself included.
Bonnie and Bill are a great team and produced an extraordinary family.
Our hearts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Bonnie & Family,
I read of Bill's passing in the very tender tribute you wrote about him in the paper today. Over the years I have really admired the courage you have both shown in your comittment to fight this terrible disease. Your life together is truly a wondeful "love story" and you still have eternity.
Love,
Karen B. McMillin

Your grief may ebb and flow. It has been said that each of us has this well deep inside of us that can be filled to the brim with grief. Every time we cry, we empty out some of the well. But the well fills again. The level of sorrow in your well may lessen as time passes, but it will never run dry. There will always be birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and those days when the well seems to fill to its brim again. Allow yourself time to remember and mourn. It is part of your healing. Grief is a continuing journey.

Dear Bonnie and family,
We have seen many friends struggle with illness and death. We have never seen a man so determined to live a joyous life as Bill, or a wife so dedicated to seeing him succeed. We mourn his loss and pray for your strength to move on.
