My dear sweet dad,
I miss you so terribly & it makes my eyes tear up just thinking that you are gone from our sight. I know God needed you more than we did and that you are now with Grandpa & Grandma Schulte, your two brothers, LeRoy (my godfather) & Jerome and all those others who went before you.
My wish for you is to be able to dance, fish, catch up with all those friends & relatives in heaven. And maybe God will even have you tend to the tilling of the heavenly gardens or keeping the lawns meticulously groomed as you did in your earthly life.
You were not just my dad (the best dad ever by the way), but more importantly you were my friend. You were such a loving, caring, strong, dependable, soft spoken, take care and help others kind of man and I ALWAYS loved you for all those wonderful qualities.
You will be greatly missed by all your friends & family, but most important you will be missed by ME, your first born daughter & daddy’s little girl.
I will trust and pray that you will watch over me and guide me now that you have an inside connection. lol
All my love daddy,
Jen
Bill was a wonderful, gentle, kind, helpful, loyal, caring and loving uncle. You could always feel his love and concern and he was also a really great uncle to his grandnieces and grandnephews. Everyone loved Bill and his memory will be forever cherished by all of us who loved him dearly. Dorothy our hearts go out to you and your loving family, your very long, sad journey is finally over and you handled it with devotion and grace. God bless all of you and give you strength and grace to endure your great loss.
Sorry for your loss Chad.. Im thinking of you..
