PEACE OUT!
SEE YA AS HE WOULD SAY!
I'VE WROTE MANY POEMS IN THE PAST, BUT THERE IS JUST ONE I LOVE THE MOST. THE ONE I WROTE FOR MY MOTHER. NOW THIS POEM WILL BE JUST AS CLOSE, FOR THIS IS FOR MY BROTHER NOT BY BLOOD, BUT BY GOD ABOVE. JUST LIKE A BROTHER, HIS THERE WHEN I'M HAPPY, HIS THERE WHEN I'M SAD. OH LET'S NOT FORGET HIS DEAR SWEET DAD "POPS" AS HE CALLS HIM. I JUST WISH HE WAS HOME FOR WE ARE ALL SO SAD AND THE PAIN IN THE EYES OF HIS DEAR SWEET DAD. I WISH ON ALL THE STARS ABOVE I COULD TAKE IT AWAY. THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD TAKE IT AWAY IS TO SEE HIM HOME WITH HIS DAD. THEN I COULD SAY AS I GO "PEACE OUT, SEE YA" AS HE WOULD SAY.

Will, you are by brother and cohort and I'm better for having known you. The best times of my life include you. Your warmth and kindness will be missed and the world is worse with you not in it. I love you and will miss you, my friend.

"Billy" and Family. Sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.

Billy ... When you long to lean on trusted friends, remember we will always be here when you need a loving, caring hug. Our prayers and tears are with you, and we wish we could do more to help you get through the excruciating pain you are feeling in your heart. When you tell yourself that "this can't be for real", believe me, if anyone knows your feelings of a wounded heart, it's us, as we have experienced life's pain of all pain, the loss of a child. Twenty five months ago Jackie and I lost our daughter, Jennifer Lynn. A day doesn't pass that we don't talk to her beautiful wall portrait. It's just not the same when someone tells you that they have lost a family member and know how you feel. Only you, a parent, and Our heavenly Father, who suffered losing His Son Jesus Christ, understands the personal emptiness and knows how you really feel when it's comes to your baby boy. Just remember, our children are where we will be one day, GOD willing. They are rejoicing in GOD'S magnificence. That is what keeps us going from day to day. God bless and comfort you. We share your sorrow. Butch and Jackie Davis

My heart goes out to the family, esp., Bill. He and Will were great friends whom would do anything for anyone. I thank the lord I was able to stop by and see him about a week and a half before he passed. God bless the family; And Bill I love you and keep your head up or should I just say, "Remember everything you told me when you were there for me." God loves you!
