Condolence from Rick & Helen Salway on February 4th, 2011 12:35 am

We wish to offer our condolences to all of Bill’s family. Bill was the
type of man who everyone thought would go on forever. He always
had a way to bounce back from everthing that happened to him.
Even though we haven’t seen Bill for a couple of years he will always
be in our thoughts. We wish that we could be with you at this time but we are in Florida but we will be with you in spirit.

Condolence from Diana & Rick Russo on February 4th, 2011 2:34 pm

Dear Doug & Lois
so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing – our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow.
R & D.

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that 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 effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is 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. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.

Condolence from Colleen Jennings on February 4th, 2011 5:48 pm
