I just wanted to say how sorry I am that I will not be able to attend Bill's service tonight. Bill was there for me when Butch died and I wish I could be there for him. This one is hitting way too close to home for me, not to mention that Bill's service will even be in the same place as Butch's.
I just want to say to all of you members of the "Sunshine Family" that you will never know how much it meant to me and my family when you were all there with plenty of love and support for us, and I am sure Bill's family will feel the same way. I hope the service is a positive one that will celebrate the good person Bill was and you all share stories of Bill that make you smile whether you want to or not. That was a big help for me.
As for Karla, girl....you have a very rough road ahead of you so lean on your Sunshine Family and take them up on their offers of help. It will help you and them. Other than that the best advice I can give you is to concentrate on the good memories and let go of the bad, and when having trouble making decisions about things, just ask Bill for help, I'm sure he will be there.
I am sending a package to Jill Marie of some things I have been holding onto that I want her use as raffle or auction items for Billy. She said it may not be this weekend but she has plans for more things in the upcoming year that she will use them for.
Take care.....and hug your loved ones a little closer today.
