Condolence: Bill was a great man. Helped me climb out of my teenager rut.
Showed me that things don't need to be perfect in your life to find bits of true happiness.
We made a few good memories.
~xo snive. You will be missed my friend.

Condolence: Or this version.....Dearest Betty, if one day a butterfly should land amid your hair
Or if a nightbird sings to you a melody so fair,
Then think of him for he is close, he’ll never go away,
If he can’t be with you in life he’ll be with you this way.

Condolence: Uncle Billy,
I'm not quite sure I even have the words for this. Everything seemed to happen so fast, we just spoke of you leaving the hospital to heal and now you are gone.
It doesn't feel real yet. Maybe it never will.
I planted a garden on my property in ur memory, and when I was digging I found a really old horseshoe, it was so cool.. I hung it on the archway of the garden. Maybe it was from you. I'd like to think it was. I don't know how everyone will get on with out you. Mom especially. I hope ur watching over her, Crystal and Renee, Meadow and Leah.. And the dogs of course. Part of me also hopes reality doesn't set in, because selfishly I'd like to think ur just safe at home. But staying here in your body meant ur pain would continue.. And I wouldn't wish another day of that for you. It's the only thing about this I'm glad for. I will miss you tremendously. You really are the coolest. I was always so proud to call u my uncle. Few people in this world had a heart the size of yours.
Love u to the moon and back!
