Cancer is unfair. Seems to attack all the kind ones I've known.

Bill, You're always positive. I hope the Hedin family can stay strong.

My best,
Steve Falletti

Bill once told me that when you get to Heaven, everyone will own a T206 Honus Wagner.

Bill, not sure about that..lol, but praying God gives you the grace you will need when it's time to go home.

I never met Bill, but he and I exchanged a few PMs and cards back and forth several times. I always found him to be a wonderful person. I knew he was sick, but he never actually mentioned what his illness was. However, he once told me that cards were his therapy. Bill, my prayers go out to you and your family.

Met Bill at many of his Boston area shows in the early 80's. He is a class act. Myself and my family send our best wishes for a speedy recovery. Hang in there Bill our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jim

Bill is one of the nicest guys I've met on Net54. He is supposed to come through my town this summer and we were going to meet up and grab a bite. I sure hope he's able to.

Thoughts & prayers your way, buddy.

Bill, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We've never met but I have enjoyed the few messages we have exchanged discussing your grandchildren and at the time my upcoming first grandchild.
Just so you know, we now have a beautiful granddaughter.
Hang in there,
RC

Bill and I have exchanged email but never met - even though we are generally from the same neck of the woods: he in Mass., I originally from Maine. Now, some 3000 miles separate us but we are of like mind on things temporal and eternal. You are in my prayers and will remain so. Steve

Default Any updates?

Has anyone heard from Bill since last week, or have any updates on his health?

I don't know him, but from all of the previous posts, he sounds like a great guy.

He and his family will be in my prayers.

Tony

Default 3am Friday and i'm back home!

I want to thank all my friends here for the kind words and well wishes. Your prayers worked, as I'm home recovering. It's about 3am on Friday, and I am so happy to be just about 'out of the woods' from the infection!
We had a terrible series of tornadoes touch down near us on Thursday. When it was over and the stormy sky turned blue, there was a wonderful rainbow. It made me watch the Wizard of Oz!
Now, I need to stay ahead of any infections and rest. Each one takes a piece of me with it, so it's a good thing I'm a big guy with lots of pieces to spare!
I want to thank all my dear friends here on net54 for your caring, kindness and please remember I love each and every one of you. You are the salt of the Earth..... the greatest group of friends anyone could ask for, and I'm proud to be a member of this fabulous group.
I'll be taking it easy at home and have plans of the entire family visiting this weekend. I miss my grand children and can't wait till they visit!
Thanks again and all my love to each of you and your families.
Bill, Neal, Jimmie Vintage, Jeff, and all of you have a wonderful weekend!
Your Friend,
Bill Hedin
