You are my darling Irish son. I am missing you very much this day...and every day. I love you and treasure every day that I was blessed to have your here with me.
Bill/ Alissa (dear friend )
Hey Ms. Sherrie I was just looking at your photo collage of Bill--I have such good memories of Bill--he was my first love you know?? Our first date was on Halloween--he took me to a party he was having at the camp on the lake--was so sweet that boy--drove all the way to Monterey to get me and when it was time for my curfew he left his own party and drove me back home--I remember him driving that big-ass bronco--it was soooo cool--I remember thinking I had the coolest and cutest boyfriend EVER! I recall such good times at your house in Ferriday and at your parent's camp on Lake Concordia--feel like we practically grew up there...We would cook out and have the best parties--Bill was always the best host. Man were we young--almost seems like a lifetime ago. I hope my memories don't make you sad...they are good and special memories to me--I will always cherish that relationship that I had with him and your family including Ryan. My thoughts are with you Ms. Sherrie--now that I have a son of my own I can only begin to understand the sorrow you must feel by not being able to see him--I always remember you as a woman of strong faith so I hope that helps you. Much love to you Alissa Close

As a friend to JamieJtand Bill sr you have my sincere heartfelt prayers. I lost the love of my life three years ago and i cry for her daily. To lose a son or daughter they tell me is much harder may God bless your heart and give you the peace that passes all understanding. You cannot bring him back but you can one day go where he is. .........curt Close

Miss Sherrie,
Today, I had a real strong urge to look at pictures of Bill for some reason. I think about him all the time and how much he meant to me and Brian. But, I just wanted to see some pictures of him. We sure do miss him.
Bill, we are having that BIG Halloween Party in your honor Friday night...just like you wanted. Always, my son, whatever you want.
I miss you so much. Thank you for visiting me in my dreams. I get a little teary, but it is always worth it.
Please send an owl to your party so we know you are there with us having a great time, too. Your brother, Ryan, is wearing your Elvis costume this year...in your honor. I even got him an Elvis wig...oh, Lord :-)
I will miss you this holiday as I have all the others. Your smile always lit up my life so much more than even these firworks will light up the night this 4th of July. Holidays will always be lonely without you, Bill. I look at that RV parked in the yard and just can't get excited about using it anymore. You SO loved to go camping with us. I loved having you with me....always! Please le t me know you are still here with your old momma. I am counting the days until my telephone reading. Please come through for me, please. I need you.
I have been looking back through all the photos since you came down to Lafayette to live. We did have a most wonderful time. You were laughing in every picture, Bill. How can I continue to breathe knowing I won't get to see that smile ever again on this earth? I am in such a bad need for a hug from you. I treasure the picture of you giving your ole momma a big hug. Nothing makes sense anymore. I see guys who are thugs going nowhere and wonder WHY MY SON? Why are these other guys still here and my precious son is not? I guess I will know the answer when I DO get to see you again. Please, Bill, come through in my telephone reading in July. I do so need to hear from you. You are my heart forever, my son.

Sherrie, I came to visit Bill and I read something that made me smile yet made me cry too.
His first years were spent in the front of the church on his momma’s hip as she directed the church in song. He entertained himself by sticking his tootsie roll pop in his momma’s hair or by lying with his feet propped up on the altar eating sweet tarts.
Oh Sherrie, what beautiful memories our hearts hold yet so bittersweet. I just wanted you to know I'm praying for you. I can tell Bill was such a fun and kind man. I wish I could have known him here and I look forward to the day I do get to meet him in Heaven.
Your arms were always open when I needed a hug. Your heart understood when I needed a friend. Your gentle eyes were stern when I needed a lesson. Your strength and love has guided me and gave me wings to fly.

Bill, I have been so busy with Angie's wedding that I hadn't visited the site in a while. But a day never went by that I didn't think of you and miss you. Your Momma has created such a wonderful memorial site for you, to help keep you alive in our hearts, we'll send you a picture from the wedding, even though I know you were there. Love and miss you, Lori Close
