I know how hard it is to lose a love one and I also know how hard it is to watch them suffer. The only comfort at this time is that he is no longer suffering anymore. He is home and I look forward to seeing him again some day.

I will always remember the time I've spent with my uncle Bill, especially going fishing with him and his brothers as a boy. Uncle Bill was always fun to be around and as been a positive influence in my life. We will miss him greatly.
