Who is my brother?
He is a husband, a first born son, a father, a brother, an uncle, a great uncle, a great great uncle and a friend to all that were privelged to know him.
He is a weaver, jeweler, minister, woodworker, olypian and a pack rat.
He is the kid in all of us.
If you believe as I do, that our energy never dies, then my brother Bill lives on.
He is now advising our guardian angels on the best way to help us move on and cope with a life where he doesn't share it with us.
He will ever be on our shoulders, guiding, comforting and spurring us on to laugh, love and live our lives to the fullest just as he did.
I admired and loved him, I wish I was more like him.
If we could capture just the tiniest bit of his spirit, what a difference it could make. To us, our families, our friends, the world.
Our tears today are for ourselves, for Bill is missed by all. So cry now, but know that Bill is with the Lord he so loved and I believe has moved on to a far greater destiny.
As he is looking at us right now, Bill is wondering why such sadness? I am a kid forever!! Smile, laugh and live for me.
A gentle man, a great man, a huge spirit, that lives forever.
Love your sister,
Janet Forsyth, Hamilton, ON
