Happy Birthday Bill.
You went way to soon but did so much. Your endless hardwork, caring, kindness, and compassion was evident in everything you did. Your belief in the good in people and your selfless devotion to those that needed you was rare and made you a genuine gift to the people whose lives you touched. Humor, wit and passion for so many things were an added plus.
You fought endless battles for me but more importantly, you taught me how to live. Most likely, saved my life. You showed me I was capable and strong and valued. You made me laugh -- always! I will have never -ending gratitude for that.
You are missed by so, so many. You are in our hearts, today especially.
