WILLIAM BIRDSALL

First Anniversary in Heaven
I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you
yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak
your name, now all I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your
memory is my keepsake, with which will never part, God has you in his
keepsake, I have you in my heart.
I love you,
Marie

WILLIAM BIRDSALL
4/27/04-4/27/05
First Anniversary in Heaven
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we
loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God called you
home. You left us wonderful memories, your love is still our guide, and though
we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and
nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link
again.
We miss you and love you Dad,
Eddie & Denise, Michele & Eric, Chris & Dottie and your grandchildren Justin,
Cory, Christopher, Michael, Edward, Jake, Matthew and Sara.
