Memories - September 7, 2012
Posted: September 7, 2012 | Last Revised: September 7, 2012


Dear Bill and family: What can I say except you were a special person in my life. I was lucky enough to share time and meet all four of your wonderful children. How proud you were of all of them. So sorry that the last time we actually saw each other was such a sad time when your granddaughter Jade went to heaven. Now you two and Charlie are looking down at us.

I especially remember our truck trip with your new camper top to the many states west of Texas. I remember my obsession with getting my picture with each state signed we passed. I still have those pictures. And yes I still remember your patience wasn't too great when you knew we were about to enter a new state.

I remember how scared I was when you were not feeling good and me begging you to go to the urgent clinic. I remember banging on their doors and getting them to reopen their doors and check you out. I remember them putting you in the ambulance and going to a hospital that was so far away. To this day I don't understand why they went so far into the Dallas area. I always figured you were giving them heck and wouldn't admit you were having a heart attack. This was way before Garmins and you know I had a terrible sense of direction. But you made it through it and recovered. Did I ever tell you I hid your car keys? They said you couldn't drive but you were bound and determined to drive.

I could go on with many more stories but not sure I should as my part of your life caused pain to others. I never meant any harm to anyone but sometimes love hits you without warning. I am glad for the time we had and your life with Carol improved you and you had your son Zach. My family all loved you but somehow knew we needed to live different lives. We stayed in touch and that is how it should be. I will finally get to meet Carol now.

I am so sad you are gone from this world and must admit mad at you. But when we meet again I will let you know my real feelings. I will never forget you and hope you are finally at peace. Love you for being my friend.
