Donna,
Over the past months, you and Bill taught us how to be a family, "Not to Sweat the Small Stuff" and how to die with dignity. These are all long lasting gifts to us all, life lessons that are sometimes lost in living.
I can't be with you tomorrow but know that you have been and will contiue to be im my prayers,

Donna,
Since I am one of the few of the extended clan that moved away from Philadelphia years ago Bill and I did not see each other often outside of major family events.
However distance does not diminish the connection, caring, and sense of family that was modeled fro all of us as youngsters.
Thank you for sharing and celebrating what your family was experiencing with all your family and friends over the past months. It focused on what you gained as a family.
I will not be at the ceremony tomorrow but I will be there in spirit as you all gather to support one another and celebrate your time with Bill.

Bill was a great guy and a good friend. We worked together, hung out together, and raised a little hell along the way. My sympathies go out to Donna and his kids, Jen and John. Also to Nancy, Eddie, and Pat. Billy D was a kind and peaceful man. He will be missed.

I also worked with Bill at Everite. Each and every morning Bill made it
a point to stop by "THE GIFT SHOP", the name he gave to my cubicle, to say Good Morning. A kind man with a wonderful smile. He is truly missed.

Donna, I was really sorry to hear about Bill's passing. We had a lot of good times as kids hanging out at the Regent St. playground. We talked a couple of months ago. I haven't seen Billy in years, but I'll really miss him.
