Bill was a wonderful man. We've gotten close throughout the years living side by side and our kids playing together. We were just out shovelling chatting the day before he passed. I think I am still just in shock. I just can't believe he is gone. He had an aortic aneurysm  at 38 years old. He left behind a wife and a 7 yr old daughter and 1 yr old son. Its just devastating. He did everything for his family. I pray they find the strength to get through this.

I will miss my friend. He was one of those guys that would take the shirt off his back for you. I will always remember us sitting out back everyday chatting away while we watched the kids play. He was just a really great guy. I will miss you my dear friend.

We had a friend go through that in November. She is 32. She survived and is doing wonderful. They told her family she had a 1% chance to survive, and even less to be back to normal. Well she made it and is back to normal. We are doing a benefit for her in Feb. Her hubby was to start a new job the following Monday, so no health insurance. No kids but man they are financially screwed. 17 days in St. Mary's hospital in Rochester. Mn. You may have heard of it it is next to Mayo. Prayers to to family, I cannot imagine have to deal with that at such a young aswell as having children.
