Its three years today since you left all of us on this earth. You are thought of everyday and I teach your grandchildren about you and tell them what a wonderful father you are and grandfather you would have been! I know you know but there is one more grand baby on the way. Im glad you are in Heaven with Jesus Christ which where you wanted to be. I know you are watching over us! Today is very hard as I remember how it all happened and I wasnt there with you. Im still sorry I wasnt there! We all love you and miss you tremendously! Rest high on that mountain Daddy! May the road rise up 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.

We were fortunate enough to know Bill in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Bill was a true friend and a great individual. We will miss him and may he rest in peace.

RIP dear brother Bill. Being the oldest of 4 children you were probably told to watch "baby Bethie" on a regular basis, so some of my earliest memories are of being by your side. I am at peace knowing you are released from the pain and suffering you endured the last years of your life. Salvation in heaven was a reality to you on this earth, your faith was steadfast. I picture you now on those streets of gold in the house the lord prepared for you.

For My Daddy who loved his Lord Jesus Christ, life, and more than anything his family! Words can not even begin to express how devastated I am that you are now gone, no longer on this earth! I miss you tremendously and love you immensely! My heart breaks your granddaughter, Fianna Quinn will never know you but she will know how much you loved her!!! May you Rest In Peace Daddy... you live on in Chris and I!
Daddy,
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.
Love always and forever your daughter, Tiffany
