Dearest Duna, Wren, Byron, Julia, Presley and family, I have been praying for you and continue to do so as you approach this painful anniversary of Bill's passing. Know that my thoughts are with you and that you do not grieve or remember alone. I do hope that you are also finding ways on this anniversary to honor the sweet man your father/grandfather was in the midst of mourning so that you might have some encouragement as well. I love you and just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you and praying for you. Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit 2 Corinthians 1:3&4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of ALL comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. Love you, Jeanine

It is so hard to believe it has already been a year since you left us. Your smiling face and laughter is always in my memories. Take care and watch over the little ones down here.

Dear Dad, Every moment of my life 34 yrs, you have been there for me. One of my most earliest memories is when we lived in winnamucca, you were on call and had to leave in a lightning storm. I was SO scared you would get hurt by the flashes of light coming from the sky, I cried all night screaming for you to come back home! Another early memory was when we lived in willits, wren and I couldn't remember if we were suppose to take the bus or wait for mom to pick us up. I made the decision to walk to your work( we were in 1st and 2nd grade) the look on your face was shear terror! You weren't mad at us you were just affraid for our safety! You always were! To prove you were the best father you could be you moved us to Santa Rosa because we wanted to ice skate. You didn't stop there, you learned how to skate and performed in many competitions and ice shows. You loved having something to do with your little girls. What dad would have done that? You that's who!! You loved it do much you ran for president of the Santa Rosa figure Skating club and won because everyone loved you! You were such a great dad that our friends told you they wished their dads were like you! You wanted us to be raised with culture so you hosted Japanise exchange students for 5 summers. In that time every weekend was spent being taught to except all cultures. I never once heard you say you were to tired, you were excited to spend every waking moment with your girls! When I was about to be 16 you made sure I knew how to drive a 5 speed so that I would always be able to get home! Because of your hard work I passed my drivers test with 100% and then you bought me my first car. After the divorce to mom you tried to still give us every weekend. You were the best dad anyone could have! You stood up for me, you took pride in me and you were my best fan! I'm so glad Julia was able to have her Papa for 9 years! She was blessed by your presence almost everyday as well. When I came home from the hospital you came to our house everyday and spent most the days holding your first granddaughter. You were so proud of her! And she felt it!! You spoiled her more than you spoiled wren and I! :) she will always remember your kisses and hugs because they were always given! I miss you! I love you! You are and always will be my daddy! I know your in a better place and that comforts me when I get angry or depressed. I know you are with me at all times I can feel your presence. Your my Dad, your my Hero! I'm so thankful I had you every step of my 34 years! Love daddy's little girl, Duna

My love and prayers go to Billy's family. I knew him since we were kids in school. He was an amazing human being. He always had a way of making people laugh and have a good time. You will be missed my friend. May the lord bless and keep you safe.

It was our families privilege to know Mr Hermon. Living across the street from him and the Reed family meant being greeted with a warm smile, a wave...... and if you were female a,"Hi Sweetie! How are you?" followed by a kiss on the cheek. You could always count on him to acknowledge you and take the time to connect with you. From our front porch view, he was incredibly loving and supportive of his family, quick to smile, always enjoyable and easy to please. We were blessed to have known him. It is our prayer for all of his family and friends that comfort is found in the realization that he is "home" where there is no pain, no sorrow and every tear is wiped away, by the hand of God himself. May we all find our comfort from the Lord during this time of great loss of a great guy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, The Cook's
