I feel such a loss not being able to go around the corner and see you sitting by the lake, fishing or sleeping. I miss you, but my kissin cousin, you will always be in my heart. Love Joanne

Hi Bill, I think it has been about ten years since we last talked to each other; I am glad you got to talk to my wife Cindy. I wish we could have seen each other before you passed away. I will always remember alot of the off color jokes that you, Cindy and I had with each other. As our "Cuzin Cindy" said, I know we will see each other again. Jeff and Cindy

Bill had a sense of humor and an optimistic personality. I'll never forget his corny John Wayne impressions!

Bill,
I haven't seen you since I was a tiny kid,
But I know in Heaven, we will recognize each other, and it will be a Grand Reunion!

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No on will ever know
But know we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store
Since you’ll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you’ll always stay

The Difference...
I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn’t have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
“Why doesn’t God help me?”
He answered, “You didn’t ask.”
I tried to come into God’s presence;
I used all my keys at the lock
God gently and lovingly chided,
“My child you forgot to knock.”
I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray.
