Bill you were such a wonderful husband for thirthy year's and what a great dad to our son Jason you were. I am so sorry you didn't get to spend but two weeks with our first grand child before you were taken to Heaven. You fought a good fight and you finished the race, you were only 58 years old but you had been so sick for the last six years. You never complained about all the sickness you endured, you didn't want to burden anyone else with your sickness. It is hard to believe that you and I took our little yorkie Harley for a ride just one hour before you passed away from a massive heart attack. We had even started watching the great show American Idol and how we would laugh at some of those people. You didn't suffer when you died, you took three strange breaths and then you were gone. I did CPR on you for thirthy minutes, but I knew in my heart you were already in Heaven. It was so hard for me to let you go, I will always cherish the love we had and will tell Landon about you everyday. He is ten months old and so precious, and he will know what a great grandpa he had. I love you my sweet one and always will, and one day I will be with you again. Jason misses you so much, he has a very hard time with your death and I have to let him deal with it in his own way, because he want talk about it. He also cherished you more than you could ever have known. We love and miss you, Teresa, Jason, Amanda & Landon Putnam

My Precious Bill

Bill, it has almost been a year since you left me and went to Heaven. It seems like yesterday we were planning our days with our new grandson Landon. He was only 13 day's old when you had to leave, and you just wouldn't believe how much he looks like our precious son Jason. Landon is so smart and so active, he makes me laugh so often. I always tell him about you grandpa and how much you love him. I will always tell him how special he was to you in those thirteen days that you got to be with him. I ask God to please tell you how much I love you and how much you are missed. You were the love of my life and that is something I will never let go of. Thank you for the thirty years of pure love and loyalty you gave me. With all my love, Teresa

Missing You My Very Best friend

Bill, the three years that I got to live with you and my sister, I felt that God had given me my own child to take care of. Teresa had to work and so God let me get to be there to help take care of you and we had such a great friendship and I enjoyed everyday getting to be there for you and her. There was so many days that you were so sick but you never gave in to it and would try to keep going on. You and and I would laugh over the dumbest things and when I got quiet you knew I was thinking of something else to get into. All the doctor appt. that I went with you on, you tried to make enjoyable. Bill you were honestly one of the finest men I had ever met, and the love that you and Teresa had only comes once in a life time. We miss you so much, thank you for all the good memories that will always be with me and in my heart. Love, Karen
