Bill

I am so sorry.
(I have serious illness in my own home and know only some of what you are feeling now).
My sincerest sympathies are with you Bill.
My words cannot do anywhere near enough. I hope God is able to soothe your feelings.
A wife is such a special person.


Sincerely to you my friend

Frank L

Dear Bill,

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain and sadness you are feeling. It hurts my heart thinking of how you're suffering.

You have one of the most positive and uplifting spirits of anyone here at net54. If anyone can persevere in the toughest of times I know it is you! Be strong for your family and love on them as much as possible. It's the best medicine.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. You will be kept in my thoughts. It's time like these that we all reflect on our lives and appreciate a little more the things we have.
My best,

Bill, we don't know one another, but I've been sending you my thoughts from afar for what seems like a few years now. You've always been an inspiration.

I'm so, so sorry to hear this horrible news. You're in my thoughts, and I can only hope that you can find peace in all this hardship.

Warmest regards and deepest condolences,

-Al

Default we love you all

Today, my oldest daughter, Doctor Whitney B. Hunt (a Pediatrician), her husband & my son-in-law Proffessor Matthew Hunt and I explained to our 4 year old grand-daughter Avery about her Nana being in Heaven with God.
It was difficult as she does not understand it all.
Avery played dollhouse with my Mom (her Memere) and I (her Papa), but a few minutes later she wanted her Mommy and was crying because her Nana (Becky) was not here in the house. She was sad, but she told us all she loved us and asked why Nana was not here. She reasoned that Nana should be here because we loved her. Avery cried and had to be consoled.
An hour later Avery was playing with us again, making the top floor of the doll house "Heaven" where she hung Nana's picture up.
If this doesn't make any one sad, nothing will.
All our love & thanks to you all.
Rgrds,
Bill Hedin

I never in my wildest dreams expected you guys were going to send me some money to help with the burial expenses, but, WOW~~~ am I pleasantly surprised!

This community has always been there or me and I truly appreiate your help.

May God Bless each and every one of you and your families. Your kindness is appreciated very much.

The wake's Wednesday and funeral is Thursday. I'll get through this now because you all have truly shown me in many ways that friends help friends.

Bill, I am very sorry for your loss. Although I am presently unmarried and therefore cannot relate to precisely what you are going through, I like most everyone here has suffered the loss of special people in my life. Words fail pitifully in describing the feelings these losses bring into play. I hope you find or keep the faith that makes you strong, and may you and your family enjoy peace.

Bill, two years ago at the age of 35 with a five year old I lost a wife to lung cancer. I have walked in your shoes. Life sucks right now. I KNOW what you are going through.

If you need to talk to a fellow collector who has been there and truly unerstands what you are going through, PM me and I will give you my cell phone number. Widowers need to stick together. And please know there is life after tragedy. God bless you in this time....
