Dad I have so many good memories of my life with you and mom, Dale & Larry.Clear back to the vacations with the old pop up camper to Texas and Colorado. And to the new ones made when Ray and I were married and our kids came. Then the boys getting married and their children. Then we had to make new ones when mom left us and Mary came into our lives and I sure do remember all the card games we had there in Momounth.You and I were good team partners. I bet you and Ray are up there now looking for partners to play pitch or spades. But my very favorite last memory was the day I got to see you for the last time with Dale and Larry and I will cherish it forever. I will be forever greatfull to Larry for saying we were driving to Texas. I think god knew then that it was our last chance and to tell you the truth I had a feeling about it. Here's my favorite picture if it works. I love you and Ray so much. Take care of each other, I know your both pain free now. Love Diana
I miss you now more than ever before.
But, I trust that God will open a door.
And show me how to continue without you.
To give me some hope and comfort too.
For you were my life and I loved you so dear.
And it breaks my heart to not have you near.
But, life goes on as I have had to.
I just wish it wouldn't go on without you.
All my Love, Mary
Bill is a cousin of my deceased husband, Don Ash. We had many happy memories together when Don and I were dating, playing cards and just visiting together and attending family reunions. I'm sorry I didn't know when the service was in time to be there. I had replacement knee surgery 6 weeks ago, so it would have been difficult anyway, but Ruth Siegrist has kept me informed. She is my cousin. Thank you for this lovely website.
To my darling husband. All my Love, Mary
We little knew this 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 peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and tho we can not 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.
Until we meet again!
Bill was a simple man......he didnt expect a whole lot out of others and he never really asked for much for himself.
I don't think I have ever heard him say a bad word about anyone.....or have I ever seen him get really angry.
I knew Bill long before my Mom and him married....but my fondest memory of him will be that he was good to my Mom and I never questioned he loved her as much as she loves him.
The one thing I have always respected him for was his ability to take a piece of wood and turn it into a work of art. He was one of the finest woodworkers I have ever seen and I will always treasure the pieces I have he made.
Bill is gone and he will be missed but his memory will live on forever in the hearts of those who he has made a difference in their lives.
