PattyJo Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hello all - I first of all want to thank all of you for your prayers, good thoughts and the support in so many ways over the past months. I wanted to let you know that Bill went home to be with the Lord this morning at 4:30 AM. He was not in pain and was totally at peace and without fear in going to see his Lord. I have a friend here with me and she will stay here until our daughter can get here tomorrow morning. His services will be Saturday, the 29th of November at 1 PM. If anyone wants more particulars, I would be glad to send them to you. Thank you again for your prayers. When he walked into heaven, his body was made perfect and without any cancer to contend with anymore. Still leaning on Him, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 PattyJo... its so hard to put things into words at a time like this but, I know Bill will always be remembered as you share the stories and the memories of how he lived, his life and how very much he loved and was loved, may you find comfort...And, throughout this difficult time, may you also know the deep sympathy and concern that is felt for you and all your family.

Mary Beth Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 My Dear Patty Jo, You know the prayers will continue!! I know you are busy right now and probably don't know which way to turn next. Just know that Bill is finally healed! I'm sorry that he had to go on, but he is in such a better place, far beyond what we can imagine. After my sister passed away, and I was so sad, a lady told me that she was in such a better place, she would not come back here even if she wanted to. How wonderful heaven must be. I love ya, girl. I'm here for you. And I will be there is you want me to. Mary Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Patty Jo, there are no words that can ever really convey my feelings at this time. I know that you know we are all here for you in whatever capacity you need. Like so many others, your strength, courage and total peace of resting in Him has been such a testimony of faith and His faithfulness and such an inspiration. How blessed you both were to have true companions in this world. I will continue to pray for His loving touch and comfort during this time and for His presence in the days and weeks ahead.

pigletaz Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I'm thinking of you Patty Jo. So very sorry for the loss of your wonderful husband Bill. He sounds like such a great man and friend but as someone said above, he is healed and no longer ill. Take care of yourself, now it's time to focus on you. Much love.

DB Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Patty Jo, I am so sorry for your loss. Remember Bill isn't suffering anymore. His absence will be tremendous, I hope you are able to surround yourself with friends and family over the next few weeks. Just remember, one day at a time.
