It's the unexpected that we have such a hard time dealing with. So as the old saying goes, plan as if today is your last day and live it to the fullest.
You never know when the good Lord will come calling, but we do know we will have a beloved one waiting to greet us!

I really wish that you were here. Life is just still not the same without you here.

Mr. Miller.com was taken. I recieved the notice of a new entry and read some of the most recent...interesting. Bill (your Dad) was a good man. I (we) know that he would insist that you go on, regardless of how difficult. I hope you all are, making him proud. Jim, Doreen, and the "Rock" (cute!), this forum IS a very nice continuing tribute! He'll never be forgotten.

There are times when life is hard and i find myself looking in the sky or walking around my house in deep thought woundering what today will brang. is today ganna be a good or bad day.
thats when i find myself talking to you and grandma and grandpa and there are times when i feel you all beside me getting us all through another day.
i have a picture of you and my mother when you both where about 3 and 4 sitting side by side holding hands and every time i walk by the picture i cant help but to think of you and the little time we had together when i was a kid. you use to give us all money jim deb kim cindy sue my bothers and sister and we would all go to MIC D'S i miss those times when we where all together as a family.
i never got the chance to tell you how much you ment to me. i still see the house in chatsworth where we all spent alot of time together and jim in his race car scaring my mom taking her for a spin in it.
there are things we all should have said or done that we didnt or took for granted and although i talk to you in my own way i just really wanted to say you are not forgot and you are missed.
we love you and miss you.

Miss you so much still find myself picking up the phone to call you or send you something.... birthday card fathers day card or book or ...... not a day goes by that i don't think of you... still not quitting to find who did this to you.... with lots of love hugs and kisses daddy deb
your daughter who misses you more then words can say
February 16, 2003
There is not a day that goes by that you are not on my mind. So many memories of my life with you.
So many times I get that feeling that I used to get when I would just have to call you or go over to see you because I just needed to hear your voice. You were always so positive, when you spoke even if you did not want to be. You never would have wanted us to know any different.. If you only knew how bad I wish I could talk to you now.
I miss you more then words can say, but I know your in good hands and still watching our every move.
You have a new GRandson coming in jst a few weeks and Jim & Doreen have decided to name him after you the best Papa he could have ever imagined.
We love you Daddy & we miss you very much... I am sending a big kiss to heaven for you.

Bill and Shirley were always there when ever we needed anything. He was a good friend whose company will be missed greatly. The world lost a light this day and God added an angel....
"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord"
Romans 8:38,39
We know not why Bill was called home to his father, but we must always remember that there is a reason for everything, we just may not be able to always see it, but it is there. It is not the trial that makes you stonger, but what you decide to do with that trail.

My family always called Billy "Billy Joe".I guess it was because there were so many Bills in the family that it was hard to keep them all straight. My Father (Bill) and his father were brothers. I have the fondest memories of Billy Joe when he and his family would come to visit us in Memphis. He was always so kind to me and had a magnetic personality. Although I haven't seen him since I was a kid, I still remember the great times we all had when he came to town. God Bless all of you who knew him and loved him.Most of all God Bless the Family.

Dear Paw-Paw
Dear Paw-Paw, around you have been for so long.
I still can't believe that you're not here, you're gone.
You'd never imagine someone could be loved this much.
So many people you knew, so many lives you've touched.
One of a kind you are and could never be replaced.
I know you're in Heaven watching over everyone with that familiar face.
We were as proud of you as you were of all of us.
Beyond generous you were, always giving so much.
You are the best Grand-pa now and forever.
But now you've gone on to yet another new endeavor.
With our memories of you always etched in out hearts.
As sad as it is, now we must part.
So as a goodbye to you, I'm going to say Ciao!
But deep down I know, this is only for now.

There are know words that can express the feeings and loss we feel when we lose someone we love in such a tragic way,
I always try to pull something good out of something bad know matter how hard it may be.
and the one comfort i can pull out of such a tragity is knowing that my uncl Bill lived a happy life,
A Wife who without a dout loved him with every breth and his kids who brought so much joy and happiness to his life.
And knowing that my Grandmother and Grandfather where there to meet him on the other side with open arms.
I have alot of great childhood memories of my uncl Bill that I will forever keep close in my heart.
Im so sorry to my Antshirli, jim, debbie, cindy, suzy, kim, and my Mother for this loss, but im Thankful for all the Love Joy and Happiness that you all brought into his life.
We will miss you UnclBILL know one can ever forefeel our hearts like you did.
Your Neice Tracy
