To my Father in Heaven –
It's been seven months now since you left us, and I feel the need to write this. I wish I would have had the strength and fortitude to speak at your funeral, but I didn't. If I had, this is what I would have said:
“Everyone talks about what a good man you were; good husband, father, grandfather and good Christian. Now looking back, I think you were a great man. Being great doesn't, I don't think, come from wealth, power or arrogance. I know you are in Heaven now and I hope it is as great and wonderful as everyone thinks. When we lost you, we all lost a piece of ourselves. We all love you and miss you a lot, but are trying to get on with our lives without you. It's not easy, but life isn't always easy. “
Good night sweet William.
Love,
Gaje

I'm speechless! Today is April 1, and I just read that Bill passed away. Mom and I were just talking the other day about the nice weather coming and said to each other that we should head over to Ellis Road for a visit. We shouldn't have waited. My life-long friends, you were such an important part of my life growing up on Ellis Road. It was a great childhood, filled with beautiful, hot summer days, clothes hanging on the clothesline, building forts in the backyard and running through the woods. Playing Red-Rover in your front yard and flashlight tag at night. And, eating tomatoes fresh from Mr. Zimmer's garden. They were the best; what was his secret? Bill, you have left this world too soon, but I have no doubt as to where you have gone. You have much to be proud of and you will be missed by many. Love and blessings to all my dear friends, Marilyn, Gayle, Cheryl, Mark, Bill Jr. and the rest of the extended family.

I remember the Zimmer family quite well when they were members of Fifth Reformed Church. (many years ago when I was growing up) Always pleasant and just "nice people" to talk to. Please accept our condolences, Marilyn. Your family is in our prayers.

My memories of "Uncle" Bill are many and go back to 1970 when I became friends with a best friend still today. You will be missed and never forgotten by this person and many more. I love all of you, my 2nd family. Cathie B.
