Two Year Heavenversary

Two years ago today we said goodbye to such a good man! Two years? How is that even possible? It is amazing how fast two years can go by and yet there are times when it feels like it all just happened yesterday. I have such mixed emotions when I think of Bill. I'm so thankful that he's healed, finally cancer free, but then there's the sadness, pain and longing that still comes and goes. Today I am choosing to remember, honor and celebrate the impact he had, and how much of a blessing he was to me and others! Always loved, never forgotten!❤️

I had the pleasure of meeting Bill only once but I admire and respect him greatly! Happy Heavenversary! I'm sure he would choose to be here with you but he is with Jesus, we know, in a healthy body!

PS You are in my prayers!

It sure doesn't seem like it's been 2 years, already. Not only does everybody miss the man named Bill Gardner and all his great qualities, there's also probably no way to measure the number of people that have been brought together by his creation, IOW.

Luckily I have enough Bill stories and memories to last a lifetime. Cross country camps at McCormick's Creek; Talladega, our Orlando silver crown trip, taking him "long haul" trucking to Greensburg....damn I miss hanging out with him!!!

This photo of Bill came up on my timeline today. He was the first to donate to the "Smackdown Awards" we all did for a couple years. He was always the first one to put his hand up for anything.

We were at Putnamville one afternoon talking to Bill,and my phone rings,and its Morty calling me. It was just after Morty told me he had Cancer,and I told him Bill was talking with us,and he should talk to Bill. I handed Bill my phone,and he probably talked to Morty for 45 minutes before hanging up,and giving me my phone back and then he thanked ME for letting him talk with Morty about Cancer etc. He was a heck of a guy.....RIP.......
