Very sorry for your loss. He will be missed.
You are in my thoughs and prayers Norton. I am so sorry you are going thru such a time.
Linda, thank you for making my best friend so happy, wish the two of you would have had more time together. Bill was a wonderful man, my prayers and thoughts are with you...
Dear Linda,
Both Hunt and I send our deepest condolences!
It was about a year ago on our way home from Florida when we had the best time visiting you two newlyweds, Missy and her new friend, and your mom. Such a nice barbeque and news catch-up time. You two were still blushing in the basque of your wedding, sharing pictures with us, etc.
Linda, while I wish constantly that I could understand life and how it works, I still can't find the answers. I guess all we have is our faith, the growth we have achieved as individuals, the bonding with loved ones (parents, spouses, etc.), the support we have offered other people, and the good times life has provided us.
My heart reaches out to you in your personal grief--and then in terms of the news from Missy regarding Sally's health.
You have been a woman whom I have admired since I met you for your "pluck," your professionalism, and your devotion to your family. I know you will summon up the deep well of strength within you to rise above this horrible loss.
If there is any way I personally can help, let me know. Please keep in touch.
Fondly,
Sue
Linda I was so sorry to hear about your loss, your time married to Bill was short, but I know you packed a lot of love and sharing in that short time-frame, we don't know what God has in store for any of us or when he will decide to call us home, some day we will be reunited with those we love who reside on the other side now. Rest assured Bill is still with you.
Hugs,
Carolyn Harlan
A remarkable person who touched us and brought love, warmth, and cheerfulness into the world. A person who will be deeply missed by many.
Thank you, God for Bill.
Sincerest sympathy to his family.
Time spent with Bob, his barbeques, his knowledge of music, and cats was never wasted.
"I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?" Death thought about it. "Cats," he said eventually, "Cats are nice."

Dear Bill: I feel blessed to have known you. I loved the wonderfully enthusiastic way you ALWAYS greeted me: your arms were wide open and you always said "HI MISSY" with a big smile on your face, then you'd wrap your arms around me and give me a kiss. That's how I'll always remember you. God Bless You, Bill. I'll miss you terribly.
Dear Linda: I'm so grateful you met Bill and were blessed with the opportunity to love him and be his wife. Bill was always so happy and positive. He loved you with all his heart! It hurts me deeply that Bill left this life so early and you no longer have his laugh to make you smile, his hugs to keep you safe and warm, and his love to keep you strong. You're blessed with a lot of happy memories and I pray they will keep you smiling. I love you big sister and I'll always be there for you!!
Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen
my deepest condolences Linda
I was so sorry to learn about Bill's passing. I first met Bill when I was fifteen years old when he came to be a DJ at the radio station in Seaford. He became a very dear family friend and will be sadly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his family.
