Yesterday I finally noticed the plaque with Bill's name on it and in searching online, I found this blog. It's clear that Bill lived a full life and was loved by many, and I want you to know that his memory lives on and is honored by all the thankful people who spend difficult moments in that waiting room. Thank you for your contribution.<br /><br />All the best,<br />Sarah ShapiroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003288586392233671.post-40306305726573476092009-08-12T11:54:12.403-04:002009-08-12T11:54:12.403-04:00Dear Nancy and Family,

He was full of life, was ready to spend more leisure time with friends and family, but God called him home too soon. My regret was I made plan to see all of you last year and had to cancel it last minute. I will have to wait to see Bill in our Eternity. Bill is forever in my Mass prayers. I will miss him as you and others kwowing him will. Bill was such a warm and caring man. He taught me to be strong, believed in myself, understood the virtue of hard work and independence. He and Dawn welcomed and embraced me as their son, my family as their extended family. May God shelter Dawn and the family in His wings always and especially in this difficult period.<br /><br />Love Always,<br /><br />Hung, Tam, Justin, and Tiffany Le, San Jose, CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003288586392233671.post-29593997350953061852009-08-08T16:17:49.503-04:002009-08-08T16:17:49.503-04:00Dear Ryan family..

Ah the good ol' days. Also Carrie, we can remember the racehorse we decorated together on that cruise - didn't we win?<br /><br />Then there is the pigroast the two Bills slaved over for the western picnic.<br /><br />I have so many but what I'll miss the most is the that infamous knock on my door. I would know that knock - one short tap and two to follow. Just a month ago he came to the door and I told Darya "That's Bill Ryan" and she said how do you know. And I said I know his knock and there he stood with that smile that made you smile.<br /><br />Dar and I used to walk to the track but now our direction is going to turn the other way to visit our dear friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003288586392233671.post-44471117690852303052009-08-06T12:54:42.990-04:002009-08-06T12:54:42.990-04:00Dear Ryans.
