7 long years has gone by already and the pain is still very real. I thought about you yesterday as it was the day, 7 long years ago, that you were supposed to visit me in PA.

It's nearing 5 long, painful years and not a day passes that you don't cross my mind. I know you are at peace and that gives me comfort during the darkest days. Much love brother.
Your loving sis, Darcy

It's been 6 long months without you brother and it doesn't seem to get any easier or less painful. I miss you more than words can say. I love you forever Billy.

This all doesn't seem real and, "Little" Billy will remain with a special place in our hearts. May God Bless all of our family during this most difficult time in our lives. "An Irish Blessing"... May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields and, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand. With our deepest sympathy and all our love, Pam & Greg

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me in every tomorrow. Remember the joy,the laughter and smiles. I've only gone to rest for a little while. Although my leaving causes pain and grief, my going has eased my hurt and given me relief. So dry your eyes and remember me, not as I am now, but as I used to be. Because I will remember you all and look on with a smile. Understand, in your hearts, I've only gone to rest a little while. As long as I have the love of each of you, I will live forever in the hearts of you.
January 8, 2011
We will miss you Billiam! You were a great friend and will be in our hearts forever! Rest in peace! Love LAJK

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I know you are already on your path if not already there. You will forever be in my heart and mind and my "little" brother I never had.

A silent thought, a secret tear,
Keeps your memory ever dear,
God took you home, it was his will,
But in our hearts and in our minds forever still.
