You still live in my heart  / Sarah Roy (Friend)
Hey Billy, 
It's been two years today since you were called home. I miss you so much. Today I am in College Station with my family and Kyle watching the Aggies play the Longhorns, a tradition I once shared with you.  Everytime I come to our wonderful Aggieland, floods of memories pour into my heart and warm my soul, I love that. You are in my thoughts Billy. 
You are missed and so loved, 
Sarah Close

Happy Thanksgiving to William and his family  / Rhonda Craig Sehon's Mom Joe Rhodes's Wife (visitor)

Willamette National Cemetery  / Jody Dunn (family friend )
Bill,

I felt your presence when I visited your gravesite last week.  It was such a peaceful moment in time.  I reminisced and prayed for your family.  The sun was out and the trees were so colorful.  I also thought about you, Bill, when I was visiting with friends that have a dog that has recently gone blind.  I contacted RollingDogRanch for them and that is the place where I sent the memorial for you.  I visited with 6 friends last week and shared "Visions of Heaven" with all of them.  You truly had a purpose-driven life and made a difference in the world.  I think of you when I see sunsets, rainbows, dogs running and other pictures of nature.  Rest in Peace.

Thinking of you...  / Lauren (Always loves you )
Thinking of you and missing you lots lately.  This saturday would have been our 2nd anniversary being married.  Life is kinda of stressful right now and it hurts so much to think it could be a joyful time. :(  I'm trying so hard to get my life in order and I am proud of myself for getting back out there, but seeing your smile and getting your hugs would make me feel even more proud. 
I'm very blessed to have fallen for someone else's heart...who supports me and really listens.  I don't know where I would be without him.  But you knew him, you knew how great he is.  I didn't think it would be possible to open my heart to someone else but I did and I know you're happy for us.
I just have times where I feel like I'm being unfaithful to you.  But I know thats not the case...it's just occasions like these, where we would be sharing our anniversary, makes being with someone else...odd.  But he is very understanding and I know it's right to give him my heart.
I just want you to know, that marrying you was the best thing I have ever done with my life.  I will always be grateful for the love we shared.  Thank you for loving me in such a special way.  I will cherish it forever.  
Until then,
Love,
Lauren    Close

Dearest Bill,


As you already know, Nathan and I had our son. We named him Joshua William-David Ohley.......named after you and David Martin. We both know that you were with him during his serious time of need after he was born and we Thank you for watching over him. It is our honor to name him after 2 incredible men who not only touched the lives of their fellow soldiers, but the lives of their families as well. We will forever have your memory with us and the sacrifices that were made. Thank you for blessing our lives Bill.......We will always be grateful!.......Much love to you in Heaven!

DAILY REMINDER  / Jody Dunn (family friend )
Bill,

I think about you often.  It doesn't take Memorial Day anymore for me to remember you and the other people on active duty.
I was given a flag that was flown over Afghanistan on a cargo plane piloted by my son-in-law.  It is on the shelf above my computer with your picture tucked in the case.  I am reminded daily of the price of my freedom.  I pray for your family and the men and women in the service.  You sure were a gift from God. I only hope that I too am a good Christian servant sharing God's Love as you so generously did.  Rest in Peace (and take good care of the animals).

Memorial Day...  / Sarah
Memorial day…a time to remember the heroes who did what ordinary men could not. They laid down their life unselfishly so that others may know freedom…I don’t need today to remember you and your life. But I’m reminded of the others who are just like you. I pray for their families and friends.

I still have tears Billy…I still can’t believe your gone. But man how blessed I am to have known you and carry so many memories in my heart. You are my hero, my brave hero. I’ve said it a million times, but I can’t wait to see you in Heaven. What an amazing day that will be!

I’m doing my best to live my life with joy and hope. I know you would be proud. I’ve kept my head held high and I’m finding strength I never knew I had. You helped me to be me, you showed me that I could overcome and you saw in me what I never saw in myself until now…thank you.

I love you Billy and I miss you terribly.

This song reminds me of you so much...  / Lauren (Forever loves you.. )
Thinking of you and remembering our love...I felt this way so much but lately I'm doing better, I know you're proud of me!  I miss you everyday but you continue to bless me and those you love.  I've been able to open my heart to one you also love and I know you're smiling down on us!  He makes me so happy and given me hope, I'm blessed! :)  Love you always...

"Probably Wouldn't Be This Way" -LeAnn Rimes

Got a date a week from Friday with a preacher's son
Everybody says he's crazy
I'll have to see
I finally moved to Jackson when the summer came
I won't have to pay that boy to rake my leaves

I'm probably going on and on
It seems I'm doing more of that these days

[CHORUS 1:]
I probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't hurt so bad
I never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh You left so fast
Sometimes I see you standing there
Sometimes it's like I'm losing touch
Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky to have had the chance to love this much
God gave me a moment's grace
'Cause if I'd never seen your face
I probably wouldn't be this way

Mama says that I just shouldn't speak to you
Susan says that I should just move on

You oughta see the way these people look at me
When they see me 'round here talking to this stone

Everybody thinks I've lost my mind
But I just take it day by day

[CHORUS 2:]
I probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't hurt so bad
I never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh You left so fast
Sometimes I see you standing there
Sometimes I feel an angel's touch
Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky to have had the chance to love this much
God gave me a moment's grace
'Cause if I'd never seen your face
I probably wouldn't be this way

Probably wouldn't be this way

Got A Date a week from Friday with a preacher's son
Everybody says I'm crazy
Guess I'll have to see

Gone But Not forgotten  / Misty (sister of Fallen Marine Cpl. Rusty Washam )

The Fallen
Written by Andrea Senter

They never thought when they left here
their families they'd see no more
No one dares to think about
The high price of such a war.

If you asked them why they did it
They'd say because it was right
Someone has to stand up
And someone has to fight

A world away they defend our cause,
as we tuck our kids in bed.
Some give all for all of us,
And somewhere tears will be shed.

They do not ask for fame or fortune
Just that we recognize
We are here, free, today,
Because the fallen have paid the price.


I am so sorry for you loss. I lost my brother Marine Cpl. Rusty Washam February 14, 2006 in Iraq by a suicide bomber he was only 21. People keep saying it will get easier as time goes by its been alittle over a year since we lost Rusty and it still feels like yesterday. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. May God Bless you and help heal your Broken Hearts from this huge loss.
My brother has a site to it is rusty-washam.memory-of.com

Happy Valentine's Day in Heaven!  / Lauren
A poem for you...Happy Valentine's Day Bill!  
I <3 U, Always & Forever...

To Bill

You're the birds that say "Good Morning",
You're the breeze on a warm day,
You're the eagle I see soaring,
You're the light from sun rays.

You're the stars that sparkle bright,
You're the rainbow that appears,
You're the calmness of the night,
You're the blossoms as spring nears.

You're the comfort in my heart,
You're the smile in my tears,
You're the hug that never parts,
You're the love I hold dear.
