Bill,
   I remember the day I met you, I came to visit April and Shelby and was introduced to you by April I had heard so much from April about you and how great of a dad you were it was like I already knew you. I ran to the grocery store after I left visiting you guys and locked my cars keys in my trunk and without hesitation when I called April you dropped everything even though you guys were busy packing and getting ready to move and came and helped me get into my car. You had a heart of gold!!! Ill always remember that :) I will always be here to Help April and Shelby don't worry about them but I know you will always be watching over them. God Bless You and may you rest in peace.

I'll never forget the day we met.
We went through so much together in such a short time, that most couples go through in a lifetime.
Before you passed, I said, "Two Peas in a Pod" You looked at me and said, "Three Peas in a Pod" (Shelby)
You will always and forever remain in my heart, and I will always honor your memory, as I always honored and treasured our marriage, and our short life together.
Love your wife, April Lynn Stephens

Bill

November 23, 2013

Bill was a kind-hearted, loving, Husband, Father, and Grandfather.

He loved his daughters, and called them his baby-girls.

I believe I was brought into Bill's life for many reasons, but the most important one was to teach him about God's Love for him.

Bill had a rough upbringing and childhood, I believe Bill was stuck for many years. He unfortunately, let his addictions get the best of him.

I was able to lead Bill to the Lord, and while living in Alabama, he accepted Jesus Christ into his heart, and he was saved. We attended church together on a weekly basis, and Bill began to read the Bible. If my mission in life was to lead one person to the Lord, then my mission is accomplished, and because of this, I can rest in peace knowing when Bill passed, he passed on to be with Jesus.

For the first time in my life, I was able to marry the man I loved, in a church, as a pastor presided over our marriage, counseled us prior to getting married, and had an actual church service. December 18th, 2010 was one of the happiest days of my life. If you look at our wedding album, you can clearly see, how happy that man was, and nervous, lol. He looked SO handsome that day. That day will forever be etched and burned into my memory bank. It was Bill's first marriage, as he had never been married before. I believe Bill was the happiest man alive that day.

We shared personal intimate moments, stories of our past, past hurts, family, friends, etc. We Laughed, cried, held each other, hugged, and were so TERRIBLY SILLY together. We would stay up lots of nights till wee hours of the morning, doing nothing but talking, and staring out the bedroom window, at the moon, stars, and the sky, and the REDICULOUS SHACKTOWN NEIGHBORS, LOL. So glad we were finally able to move out of that neighborhood.

I'll never forget the day we went to Dearborn Oakwood Hospital, to have my ultrasound. The day we were to finally find out the sex of our baby. I went into the bathroom to put my gown on, as tears were streaming down my face, I said "God" Please let this be a girl, I promise you, I won't let you down. When the X-Ray tech told Bill and I, it was a girl, I screamed (Excitedly of course) and wept so hard, and looked at Bill, and kept saying, it's a girl, it's a girl. We have a little girl. I think he had some tears in his eyes too. He was there for the birth of our little girl at Garden City Hospital, Feb. 9th, 2010, and he cut her umbillical cord. He was so proud that he was able to do that. He took such good care of her. He would rock her to sleep, prepare meals for her, but he wasn't getting near a poopy diaper. Shelby was the apple of her daddy's eye.

Of course, there were some hard times, and not so good memories too. All of that will be sealed. Most of which will remain between Bill and I. Only he and I have those secrets, and personal memories that will be taken to my grave.

I will  never forget you Bill, and I am rejoicing in the lord, that you are now at peace. No more pain, tears, suffering. It's over baby.

I hope you are dancing above with Jesus, the Angels, Anna, Mom and Dad.

One day we will see each other again, until then, I have more to accomplish here on earth, and have to raise our beautiful, intelligent, wonderful daughter.
i will make sure she never forgets you, and what a wonderful person you are.

Love you Pookie!!!!
