My thoughts and prayers are with Bill's family and many friends. I never met Bill in person, and I am sad about that. I know that Bill has been a role model for anyone having a rough time.

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has laid you see.
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, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now; He set me free.

Rest In Peace Bill, you brought so much joy to people w/ this forum I thank you

RIP Bill. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends. I hate cancer.
