Yes, I understand that every life must end; I know someday we must go. Yes, I'll meet you on the other side. My dear dear brother and friend, Bill, may you RIP with our heavenly father. No more pain or anguish just love in the arms of Jesus. I'll miss you, man.

Bill was a huge part of my familys life.  He was a wonderful man full of life and compassion.  Bill was a second father to my younger brother Mike and one of my Fathers best of friends.  Bill will be missed by many especilally my family and I am almost certain by many more.  I Love You Bill. May you rest in PEACE.

My sincere condolences go out to the Rittenberry Family.  It was my pleasure to have known and worked with Bill .. and now Billy and Matt at A/W. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers.

Dianne, many years have gone by for us when we first met.  Many good talks throughout our friendship.  It is a comfort to you, I'm sure that Bill is with the Lord.  What acts of unselfish love you showed to Bill right to the very end.  I am glad his suffering is over.  May the Lord show himself to you and give you His peace that passes all understanding!  Love you, Dru Bourbonnais(Macon, Ga)

Diane:Its been so many years since we've spoke,even though I've thought of you so many times, really didn't know how to find you. Now I come to you in a time of loss in your life. I am sorry sounds so shallow at a time such as this. Just know you and your family are in my heart, thoughts and prayers. Reach out and the Lord our Saviour will carry you through and guide you in the days ahead. Love to you, Cheryl Holsted Easterberg

Bill, we had many many laughs together. I will miss walking around office depot for hours while shopping for just the "perfect" file folder. ; ) I will really miss you, and I will see you at home... Love, Jennifer Richmond

Karen Wynn and family, so sorry for your lose, but we know Bill is with Jesus now!

You will always be a part of my life and in my heart.  You showed me how to face death.  Your words comforted my heart. I will always love you.  I will always miss you forever untill I see your face again. Wait for me inside the gate..

It seems like only yesterday we were all just kids playing and laughing together.... Although throughout the years we have grown and gone to lead such seperate lives it never changes who we have carried with us through the journey. Diane, you and Bill, Amy, Jill, Mathew and Billy were all like family to me. I love you all as much today as the day we met!!!!! Your strength is inspiring and forever may God bless you and your family. Bill was a very special and lucky man to have you all in his life!!! Love you

Bill, you fought a good fight. It brings tears of joy to my eyes to know that you fought long enough and hard enough to be able to hold your granddaughter in your arms. Diane,Billy,Amy,Jill and Matthew......you have been through so much and have had so much strength to pass on to one another when the others needed it.....may God grant you the peace you so rightfully have unconditionally earned. I love you all.     Aunt Kris

Bill, we love you and we will miss you. I only cherish the good times to the fullest. Death is only the shedding away of everything that we aren't. You are who you always wanted to be now, in a place you always wanted to go, with Someone you always wanted to be with. - We love you -Shari, Sara, Cari and Michael.

Diane the best memories are in your heart. Know that he loved you and his children very much.  When we talked it was about his family and I'm glad I was there to share his love.  I loved him very much and will miss our talks.  I send my love and prayers.
Love Aunt Linda (Riverview, Fl.)

Dearest Diane, Billy, Amy, Jill & Matthew,
Bill fought a good fight & ya'll were right there to support & comfort him.  We are humbled by your dedication & love for Bill.  Ya'll are like our family, we love you dearly, & are here for you.
Love In Christ,

Take the time to sit quietly and remember all the special times you shared with Bill. That is one of many comforts our Heavenly Father has given to you all of you. Laughing, crying and holding each other will give you comfort that nothing can replace.  I have you in my heart and prayers,

Bill:

Big brother that I never had.  I love you and will miss you.  We had some good times and you made me laugh.  And I want to thank you for the kindness you showed me and for helping me in ways that you may not even know that you did.  So, I'll see you soon.
