God Bless

I feel like talking to you. 13 years ago the footprints of my life forever changed. Your absence has impacted our lives so much. We remember you each day! I live your absence each day of my life. I know We honor you best by honoring and taking care of the person who gave you life. She loves you so much, even with her late stage Alzheimer’s she still calls out your name. I see you in my boys. You would have been a great uncle to them. It's not how God intended it to be but he alone knows why? Till we meet again my brother.

I met Willie in 1986. In a small christian church in ENY on Pitkin Ave. He was such a good kid. He would come over our house and hangout with my wife and me. And my two small boys at the time. When he was in the NYPD academy, he used to come over a few times a week to use our type writer. We loved him so much. Always a faithful friend over the years. We love you Willie.

Still an empty feeling my brother 10 yrs and you would think it would feel different but it does not. The pain is there still , like it were yesterday. Now I'm a mother of two wonderful boys that remind me of you everyday! You would have been a great uncle with them! If heaven only had visiting hours :-(

By next month, November 24,2004, my father had died for eight years. I can't believed that it has been. Everything had changed for me since he died. Dad, if you are somewhere in heaven reading this, I miss you very much and you'll always be my guardian angel for me, our family, and our NYPD family. I love you.

6 yrs and I keep coming back, wishing these words get to you. I've missed you so much,words cannot describe.Going on with life only because I have to, but it's still very difficult. Tears still swell in my eyes,my arms yerning to hold you near. There is a part of you in me that no one will ever know,and I cherish more than any fine gold. Sometimes anger wants to take over because I feel you left so soon, because you left me behind to deal with the pain. The pain ...oh so hard to describe. But, I look forward to the day I'll see you again, and embrace you with all the love you left behind. You will 4ever be the one who stole my heart and ran. Loving you until the end of time.

I feel the need to write to you my brother. You've been away from us almost five years now, I think of you every day. I miss you so much still. You left this empty void in me that will never be filled again. William, Its not true time does not heal wounds it just disguises them. Mom is just not the same since you've been gone but Margie and I do our best to make her be normal again. Now that I'm a mother I am able to understand her and her pain a whole lot better.

I had a son, his name is Jayden Xavier Bryan he reminds me of you so much. He has your good heart and calm attitude but dont push his buttons. He loves cars,electronics, video games, movies and walks to his own beat like you always did. He has perfected all your dance moves he surely was not born with two left feet.LOL. I talk to him about you all the time. The day he was born I had so many emotions flowing through me. I was happy and yet sad knowing you and Dad will never meet him and get to hold him. I just always saw you there in my future. Life has a weird way of changing things on me.

As your EOW anniversary is aproching I want you to know that your resting place is not in a cementary but in my heart and in the heart of those who truly loved you unconditional.
