Category: Let's talk
For keeping Bill (BB #123) in their thoughts, and prayers. I've known Bill for 4 years (it' would've been 5 on August 31.) and neither of us knew he had that many friends. He had friends but man, not this many.
Those who were close did one of 4 things:
1: Wrote on the Legacy Guest Book
2: Wrote on the Memorial Board
3: Left a Zone By Phone Post on his voicemail
4: If you knew his family you had a way to contact them
These past few weeks have been rought not only for me, but to his family and friends whom were close to him. I want to thank each and everyone of you - reading your posts on Legacy & Memorial Board made me feel at ease. And some of you found a way to contact me - either on the memorial board, private quick note or via email. Let me say something, your words of sympathy, respect, support - you all don't know how much that means to me, not just me but to those close to him. You all are so wonderful thank you.
Today was especially rought as Jan. 10th is his day of service and rest. I don't know how I got thorugh this but I know that Bill would've wanted those close to him to be strong and remember him for the good times he shared here on the zone, his family and friends. Today I spent almost two hours listening to meditation music that I shared with him when we just started out as friends. And that track relaxed me almost putting me to sleep.
I have spoken with his father for a little while. I figured I give him this weekend for time of privacy. I'll call him sometime this week to see how things went. I've got some things on file on my computer that reminded me of Bill (2 passages - one I posted on post #88 on the memorial board.), 2 photos I have of him, and the 4 meditation tracks that really reminds me of Bill most. I feel instead of flowers that this file I'm putting together will be just as good. I miss him, we all miss him. Bill would've wanted us to move on and remember him just the way he would've wanted it.
So I thank you for being there for me during such a rough time in my life. He was like a big brother to me - and I know deep down that when its my time to go, he will be right there waiting for me. Picking up where we left off.
Auw, this is so sad! Hugs to you :d! Hope you feel better! I know that is really hard to go through, luckily I have never had to go through that yet, but I can imagine how hard it must be to lose a friend, especially so unexpectedly like this!
Well, good luck!
Thank you.
It was unexpected, he had a bright future ahead of him.
He loved his family and his friends.
I can relate. This is what it was like for me after David (Lightningglider) died. If you ever wanna talk, feel free to get ahold of me. Hugs.

Bill was a fantastic guy. I only started to get to know him very recently and am all the luckier for having been given that opportunity. One thing that helps me in times like this, and hopefully it'll help you too, is to remember that it is scientifically impossible to destroy something. You can change it, but never destroy it. So while Bill is changed a part of him will always be here in one form or another. A memory, shared song, a remembered come back line (he came out with some crackers). My thoughts are with you lion, and anyone else deeply affected by Bill's passing.
Cheers,
Simon
Bill was amazing, not many zoners have a good heart like him,
Hugs, and my thoughts are with him.
Inu-Princess2006: Thank you, I'll def. keep that in mind.
I use meditation music to keep my memories of him alive. If you read my passage on the memorial board, I mention listening to music that would relate to him in some way. And it soothed me better then listening to anything with lyrics.
