Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away to the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, That, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect. Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same that it ever was. There is absolute unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you. For an interval. Somewhere. Very near. Just around the corner.
All is well.
Remeber this Mrs. Becky always when you are down. This is how it is.
Mr. Bill you are dearly missed by my kids and I. In the little time that I got to know you, I really became close to you, looked at you like a father a best friend to me. I really wished we could have got to make those hunts together. You were the most amazing man that I have seen ever in my life. I know you loved your WIFE dearly and wanted the best for her always, whether you are here or there with GOD!!!!
I am having one of your favorite beers (BECK'S LIGHT) for you as I type this.
I know you are watching over your WIFE as her guarding angel and keeping her safe and close to your heart as you always did. I wish you were here everyday when I come to the house. I enjoyed our morning talks and our afternoon chats. You have made me realize life is what you make of it.
Mr. Bill, I miss you everyday. One day we will finish our chats when we meet at our father’s door. Keep the laughter and smiles going just like you did here on earth.
Love You Mr. Bill
