I'm glad this guest book will be active forever because that's how long I will miss him. I might be the only one posting and reading here, but it always helps me feel better. Tears. Why do they always come at odd times. Today because I was trying to remember when his birthday was and felt immense sorrow and guilt that I was off by 2 days. I'll listen to some Rush on November 19, and maybe this time around I will understand why Bill liked them so much.

He LOVES the same things, has his tenacity & humor, & loves & remembers his Daddy (in Heaven - as he calls him...) & wants to be just like him when he grows up. We feel like we have been blessed with so much joy & goodness in our lives! Thank you for being a part of this with us! with love, Lonnie -- Billy's mom

Bill and Lonnie,
It is just now that I received the news of Billy's passing. I will always remember him as "Billy", your 11 year old. That's when I knew him (with basketball in hand). I have read all of the kind words and you must be so very proud of the man he became. I am so sorry for your loss. The entire Blackwell family remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Jenna, I wish I knew Billy. Reading about him makes me realize that he was like you. His friends, family, co-workers speak so well and lovingly about him. Your family has been so lucky, in that you all appreciate each other and the time that you spend together and have never been afraid to show your love for each other. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Blackwell family, I was shocked to learn of Bill's passing. He and I alternated teaching the gospel doctrine class here in the Logan 10th Ward, and it was a pleasure to team teach with him. May God bless you with an increase in faith in the atonement of His Son which assures us of the resurrection. Our love, Bishop and Janice Williams

Kristi and Little Bill:
I just learned of Bill's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. I realize that very few words can console you now, but I hope the faith and love of those around you, and the comfort of your Father in Heaven, will aid you through this difficult time. I enjoyed spending time with Bill. His lessons in the Logan 10th ward were wonderful, and I enjoyed fly fishing with him on the Bear River. I will pause and remember him the next time I go.
Peace and love...

Bill was clearly loved by many more than the hundreds who attended the funeral. That love and admiration continues for the rest of your family. It is so sad when plans are interrupted by something so unexpected, but it is so reassuring to know that we are part of a larger plan. Our prayers for you will continue, and hopes for the healing that was invoked on your behalf.

I just want to tell all of the Blackwells that I love them. I have been praying for all of you. Bill never let me forget that he was one of the first to hold me when I was born. He gave me so many things that that I will always remember. He gave me jeep lessons in Moab, dating lectures in Salt Lake and Logan, along with lessons on self confidence and optimism. He was easily one of the happiest people that I have ever met. Bill has had an impact on my life that I will never forget. You are in my prayers I will always love you and I will always love Billy.

Bill is the closest thing I had to a brother. We made paint with our chemistry sets because Lonnie wouldn't let us use matches. We played with Bill's Tonka trucks, and endless supply of wooden blocks. Bill introduced me to Rubix cube, and Star wars. We cut wood at Aunt Sally's house, and road our bikes into Jaffery where I got hit by a car! I flew my first plane with Bill in the Cockpit, and went fly fishing for 3 inch trout. We wrote eachother while on our missions. We went on double dates, and would stop by Taco bell after and laugh about how nuts some girls are.
I watched Bill be sealed to his sweetheart in the temple. I Bill taught me that I deserve the best. I stood in the circle with Bill as he blessed little Andy, and it was at that moment that I decided that once again I wanted to follow in Bill's footsteps. Bill you will always be a brother, my example, my hero.

Dear Lonnie, Bill, Kristy, Andy, Jenna and Melissa - On behalf of Judy, Steve Jr., Patricia, Catherine, Melissa and Carson we share in your loss of Billy. He taught us all how to be happy, to live with passion and to be kind. His accomplishments began with a sense of wonderment and will continue through the generations. We would like to think we knew him very well, but I think that is what he would want us all to think. With love and prayers. The Eror Family

Dear Family, NorthEastern LoveSacers and Friends:
I just returned from Florida tonight from my grandfather's passing and on the way home from the airport, Anne told me what happened. I am still very shocked and sad.
You are in my thoughts and prayers and we at LoveSac love you guys more than you know.
"Bill of Natick" was so much fun to open the first Boston LoveSac store with. Your famiy is an example of love mixed with a lot of support for each other. I still have some maple syrup Bill made sure I got, along with some of the family recipes. (thank you)
Bill took time to do kind things for people. He was generous, ambitious and positive. He dreamed big and lived big. He talked to us each time we met about his family and showed us the latest pictures of the baby. Nate Mayfield and I enjoyed every minute we spent there with you!
May God bless you all with the peace you need.
Sincerely,
Pam White
