Bill Spraker Memoriam

In Loving Memory of Bill SPRAKER As I reminisce of times we've shared, my grief still takes control. Not a day goes by, I don't pray to die, to join your departed soul.
You promised me you'd never leave, that your love would never quit. We joined our hands, with wedding bands, now here alone I sit.
Our love so strong and full of life, now weakness has me bound. With my soul mate gone, I just can't go on, no peace is ever found.
But a part of me still wants to live, my emotion still divides. How do I begin, to live once again, when a broken heart resides.
We were closer than any Siamese twins, when we found the Lord that day. Our spirits were spliced, by the Lord Jesus Christ, but now you've been taken away.
But the Lord has been speaking to my heart, that has given me some relief. I'm still needed below, to let people know, there's an answer for their grief.
And he's shown me in his very words, that I soon will see your face. The day quickly nears, he will dry all my tears, and my pain will be erased.
So though I miss you dearly my love, I still have work to do. My love will not fade, or the vows that I made, when I gave my heart to you.
Nothing or no one can take your place, Dear Bill, My Heavenly Mate. I'll be counting the days, til that symphony plays, and I see you at Heaven's Gate.
We love you and miss you, Bill
Vanessa, Morgan, Amber & Connor
