I love and miss you grandpa we will meet up with you again. Love Amy & Casey, Justin And your Girls.

Aunt Betty and Children, You had a wonderful Husband and Father. My thoughts and Prayers are with you all. I always remember Uncle Bill being quite and fun loving when we had are "family parties" and he always had a good laugh with the "brother-in-laws" when they would crowd he bar at Grandma Barlows or gather out in the yard. GOD SPEED UNCLE BILL you will missed!

I'M FREE Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free I'm following the path God has chosen for me. I took His hand when I heard him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I've now found peace at the end of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; Oh yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow Look for the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much; Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seems all to brief; Don't lengthen your pain with undue grief. Lift up your heart and peace to thee, God wanted me now-He set me free Author: Shannon Lee Moseley. soothingliteleader@yahoo.com COME WITH ME The Lord saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be, So He put his arms aroud you And whispered, "Come with me." With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer And saw you fade away, Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, A beautiful smile at rest, God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the best. It's lonesome here without you We miss you so each day, Our lives aren't the same Since you went away. When days are sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, We seem to hear you whisper, "Cheer up and carry on." Each time we see your picture, You seem to smile and say, "Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping, We'll meet again someday."

WHERE CAN I START TO SAY HOW MUCH I'M GOING TO MISS YOU.I NEVER THOUGHT A HEART COULD BREAK SO MUCH.I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH.PLEASE WATCH DOWN ON US AND HELP GIVE US THE STRENGTH TO GET THRU THIS..WE WILL WATCH OVER GRANDMA AS WE PROMISSED WE WOULD BUT I DON'T THINK MY HEART WILL EVER MEND WITHOUT YOU HERE..I LOVE YOU.ONE OF YOUR ANGELS...

Dear Bill, I know that when we first met that you were unsure about me and Randy, but I think that we all got passed that. I couldn't have asked for a better father-in-law. I will always take care of Randy and the boys. You remember to take care of my other boy up there. I know that you will watch over him, until we get there. I know that you are in a good place and now out of pain. Thank you for all the good times and great stories that I can pass down to my boys. We miss and love you terribly. Randy, Jo, Tristan, and Preston (Dego)

Dad, I'm am so lost no having you here to take care of. Missing the phone calls checking on you and seeing what you needed. I will miss coming out at lunch and by after work checking on you and seeing what else you wanted (always cookies). I wii always have the memories of you staying with Chuck and I sitting in the rocker watching the birds out the window. You have been such a big part of my life and letting you go is so hard. I will miss and think of you everyday but I know that you are in a better place. I love you and miss you.

Grandpa, i will miss you.i will miss you telling funny jokes, your smile, you looking at my scooter, and watching the kids and birds outside. every time i watch the cubs i will always think of you. we know you are in a better place now and you will be looking over us and i will never forget you. love, Shay Little

I'm sorry for your passing Uncle Bill. I'll miss seeing you at the State Fair for the Harness racing. Hope you are at peace.

Grandpa, It is so hard to believe that you are gone. I love you so much, and miss the way you could always make people laugh, even in the worst situations. I have heard so many stories from my mom and grandma. Like when i was a baby and you would always take the bows off my head. Mom always thought that was funny. You are the best grandpa that anyone could ever wish for, and i can't wait to see you again someday. Love you so much, Miranda

I will miss you so much we spent so much time together and I will miss all the things you did but I am so glad that you are not suffering any more I hope you are taking care of Austin and little John and I hope you found the person that you where looking for but we will all miss you and we will see each other again some day.

Dad I sit here and think of all the things you taught me and know that whenever I pick up a hammer or a wrench its what you taught me I will miss you very much love you always

GRANDPA GREEN I DIDNT GET A CHANCE TO KNOW YOU BUT I KNOW MY GRANDMA SHAWN WILL TELL ME ALL ABOUT YOU WHEN I GET OLDER ESPECIALLY MY NAME YOU CALLED ME ANGEL AND ALL THE STORIES ABOUT YOU AND GRANDMA SHAWN I LOVE YOU GRANDPA GREEN RHEALYNN

Bill, when i first came into this family i was a little apprehensive to meet you. Everyone told me that if you liked someone you did, but if you didnt you just didnt. After meeting you i knew that i was in the presence of a great man. The love of your family beamed from you. I realized that you had the ability to see good or bad in a person. Over the years not only did you become my fatherinlaw, but a friend. I always got a warm feeling when Cindy would say that you would ask wheres Gary today knowing that it was out of concern. I will miss our little chats when i came to visit. I do regret that i never got a chance to take you in the big truck.I want to thank you Bill for giving me the honor of being a part of your life.Thank you for this gift you have gave to me, your family. Life has truly lost a great man.

Dear Shawn and family, So sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. We know how much you loved your Dad. Our thoughts are with you at this time. Take care.

there is no way for me to say how important my grandfather was to me or how much i loved and respected him when i was a kid i thought he was grouch as i got older i seen just how great of a man he was and i swore to myself that for everything he gave me growing up that i was going to make him proud THANK YOU GRANDPA YOU WILL FOREVER BE THE GREATEST MAN I'VE EVER KNOWN I MADE IT TO 18 WITH ALL MY LOVE JAYBIRD

Cindy & Family- My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of transition. May good times and memories of your (grand)father help ease the loss.

Dear Betty and family, So sorry to read of Bill's passing. Please accept my condolences and be sure I will remember you all in my prayers. Sorry I won't be able to make the funeral.

I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Bill, I know that it has been a long time since I've seen everybody, but I do remember the great times of the picnic's, house parties when we all got together, we had such good times. I will remember those greats times and I sure do miss those times. My prayers goes out to all of you. Tell Aunt Betty I said Hello and give her my love.

Dad, How do I say everything I need to say. Your are my guardian angel, my hero, my wonderful dad. I miss you. I know you went from my hands to Darryll's. May he enjoy you as we did. You will always be in my heart. I know you are okay where you are. I seen it the day I gave you your last hair cut. PEACE AND LOVE FOREVER LOVE YVONNE

John, Phyllis, and family. We are very sorry to hear about the passing of your father. We know Bill was a great person and may all of his love be with you forever. Take care. Rex and Bonnie.
