Dear Papa,
I woke up this morning after having a dream about you lastnight, it felt even more real than life and reality itself. You were there talking to me asking me about everyone and making sure we were all ok. I wanted to stay in that dream longer and not leave you but it ended and this morning waking up I feel just like I did the day mom called me and said hunny papa died this morning. My whole body went numb and inside i was screaming. I wanted to run away I wanted to hide from everyone and just go to sleep and wake up hoping it was a dream but this time it wasn't. It has been over a year now and people say it gets easier as time goes by but I don't believe it. I recently came to Niagara Falls but as I approached the cemetary I had to ask Brandon to turn around I just couldn't do it. Small things remind me of you every day and it brings back the memory that you are no longer here. I long for just one more minute of you being here, one more minute and nothing more just enough time for one of your famous hugs and for me to say I love you. You treated me like your own flesh and blood never like I was from an other family, you accepted Brandon into the family and made him feel just as much apart of everything as everyone else. I feel sad for Chelsea as all she will ever know of you are the wonderful things we can tell her. She is such a sweet heart and so cute, looks just like your handsome son. You would have been the greatest papa to her I just hope she can know you from what we tell her. I miss you papa, my heart hurts so much when I look at your picture or think of you gone and separated from your family, it seems so sad to think of you out in the cemetary all by yourself, it seems silly because I know your in heaven but when it gets cold outside I worry your not being kept warm enough or maybe that your scared by yourself. I love you papa, I can not even put it into enough words how much my love is for you and how much i miss you and you are always forever in my heart and dreams. Love you always!

Hey,
I see no one really comes to write to you anymore but me. Sorry I haven't been to your grave in a bit, I just don't think I am emotionally stable enough anymore. Things are starting to get harder and harder for me each day. I just wish you could be here...I miss your smile, your laugh, your advice, but most of all your love and warmth for others in need. Right now I need you, please come help me. Why did God have to take you? WHY! It isn't fair, then again is life ever fair?
Well I love you and miss you more than ever!
Bye for now,
Brittany

Hey PaPa,
It has been almost a year since you have parted with us but it seems so much longer. I still am in complete and utter shock that you are gone. I leave for Ottawa on Tuesday. Ali is pregnant again, with a boy, so I will have another sibling soon. I wish you could hold Chelsea, she is gorgeous. I am sure she would have loved to meet you. But I know you will be her guardian and watch over her every step. Nanny is in Nova Scotia visiting Grampy Aikens, as you know he wasn't doing to well a little while ago.
I still remember the day you died, it is as if it was just yesterday. I was asleep in my room and Ashley came in and said, "Brittany get up PaPa is in the hospital, he isn't doing so well. Mom is coming to pick us up." When she arrived she was bailing, At that moment my heart just sunk into my chest, I knew it couldn't be good. She asked us to go inside...She told us then that you had died and all I could do was scream no! How could that be possible...I miss you soo much! Sometimes I wonder how any of us have overcome this tremendous event, but I guess it was just your time to go.
Well I guess this is good-bye for now, I LOVE YOU!!!
Love Always,
Brittany.

Hi Papa,
how are you doing? i'm doing really bad as u probably know. I keep having thoughts of dying so i can see you. But i don't want to die. My therapist asked me one thing i would like back and i said my papa. It has been 2 months since you have left us and as each day goes by i'm getting worse. I worry about my mom and nanny because i hate them knowing the way i feel. I admit i do need serious help and i'm trying to get it. But personally i don't think anything will help, the only thing that will help is you. When you died a huge part of me died, a part that i will never get back. Nanny and i are gonna work ourselves through this and someday us both will see you again. Kee elvis and casper good company now that they are with you
love ashley

Dear papa,
the second i found out you were gone i felt this couldn't be true. But now its been a month and its became a reality. I am literally going to say this loss is killing me. You were my grandpa but most of all a second father 2 me. You were always there 4 me when i needed u such as when i was in the hospital and i feel i have somewat failed u because i wasn't there 4 u when i should have been. I wish i could have spent every last second of your life witgh me by your side doing anything, like ur favourite thing watching corinne swim. But i know that we will never be able 2 do this again, and i am now missing a huge part of my heart and soul. I am going through a very difficult time mentally and i know u will be there every second 4 me, i loved u so much, and i miss u more than anything in the world could say. But promise me one thing never to leave my side.
R.I.P.
I will always miss u and remember you
love Ashley

It was as if I was a tree, and he was the roots. Always there for me when I needed him, a he shoulder to cry on, a friend, but most of all a grandfather. Now that you can not be with me in person Papa, you will forever be with me in spirit. You will always have a special place in my heart forever!
Love Brittany

I was very shocked and stunned when I read about Bill. Although I didn't get a chance to know him well...I know he was a wonderful man and I sympathize with the loss of a dad. My heart goes out to all the family and please know you are in my thoughts. Nothing can take away the love and memories he has shared and I know that will carry you through this very difficult time.
My deepest sympathy,
Lisa Goertzen

Dear Dad..
When I got the call on Wednesday morning, my heart was shattered, I could not believe the man I called Dad was gone out of our lives. you were such a major part of our every day lives, your phone calls your drop ins, or just knowing you were there when we needed you. I have never considered you my Father in law, I have considered you MY DAD...You have been apart of my life for a very long time and I cannot imagine having a life without you in it but now I must face that. I miss your smile, your hugs, your laughter, I miss every thing you were. You will live in my heart forever, Whenever something was going wrong with my family you always listened or held me and helped me through it, I always knew a phone call is all I needed and you would be here, I will miss you..We will take care of mom, although she is an amazing and very strong woman, we will be by her side forever and make sure she is ok. Dad, I know you are our ANGEL now watching over us and holding us tight. When I look into the nights sky now I will look at the stars and know I am looking at you.
I love you DAD..and I will miss you more then any words could express.
My hugs to you and a kiss being blowing through the sky to you from me.
Love your daughter in law
Cathi
P.S. Dad...Thanku for giving me your son, he is my life and my love and he has given me the most wonderful children and life a woman could ever have.

You were a friend, husband, Father, Uncle, Grandfather and most of all, a great person who everyone thrived to be around. In the five years that I have known you, you have always been like home to me. You touched the hearts of everyone you met and you have captured the heart of one little boy who will miss you very much. I never got to say good-bye, so this poem will have to be our final farewell.
You were here but now you are gone, and tomorrow

Bill, you were my friend and family for as long as I can remember, and when I started my own family with Jae you were one of the first people I wanted her to meet. I needed her to know where such a big part of me had come from. When we had Tommy I wanted him to be with you as much as he could so he would grow up with the same kind of love and inspiration I did. We all love you so much. It's going to tough without you, I miss you so much already, but I learned well from you and I know I can continue to spread the love and strength the you brought to all of us. Thanks for the laughs and the advice and most of all for the friendship. I'm the man I am because I knew you.
Thanks

Well, for another time in my life I am almost lost for words. I can say that I know that I will feel the same void in my life and my heart that you will feel and I wish that I could be there to hold you all and kiss the pain and hurt away. But I know that we will be strong because of the family trait and muster the strength to get through this tough spot in our life. I feel that alot of people will feel this loss because Bill always left a lasting impression. I loss my brother,my life advisor,my best friend and my teddy bear. He will be in Moms arms again and I am sure he will be safe and he will look after her. I love you guys and my prayers are with you always.
Love and Kisses Always

Dear Papa
No words will bring you back, no tears I cry will either but in my mind I hold your memory. I love you so much and miss you more than any words can describe. I wish you were here to give me a big hug, to hold me and tell me its going to be ok. I wish I could have been there for you to say goodbye but now is not the time to look back its a time to be thankful that you were my papa and I had you in my life. I love you very much
