Thinking of you today and blessings.

I am so sorry to hear of cousin Margarets passing. May she rest in peace.

With a heavy heart, my family and I are letting you know that our Mom, Margaret (Spurling) Lane, has passed away. We want to thank everyone who has touched her life, long term or short term, and was kind to her. We will forever love and miss her. ❤️
P.s. We love and miss you Mom & Dad, rest easy, together!
Love,
Lisa, Linda, Nancy & Don, Bill & Tracy and all of the Grandkids!

Happy Birthday Bill  I think of you often and wish we were together again. Will love you always. 

Happy Birthday Bill! I hope you are with your whole family and dancing with Lois. Say hello to your mother and dad and my dad and mother. 

Happy Birthday, Dad. I love and miss you!
Love, Nancy

Happy Birthday Dad! Love you!

❤ Happy Birthday Dad!
Miss you!!! Love you!!!

Happy Birthday Bill...we all miss you so much.  You were so good to me and the family. I love you so much still. 

Its hard to believe its been 6 years since we lost you Bill. I still remember the good times back in the 60's. I was just a little boy but when we visited and you were there you always treated us with so much kindness. We loved visiting your mom and dads. Knowing Aunt Helen and Uncle Bud I know where you got your personality from. Rest in piece my dear cousin.

Another year gone...Your special present came to you this year. Take care of her. She always loved you and thought she was already an angel. I talk to you all the time so this is redundant. But this day is always sad for me and the kids. Still love you! 

My Dear Bill, I am HAPPY to wish you a Happy Birthday, but it does not soothe the pain of you being gone. Margaret misses you being attached to her hip and Jim and I miss that wonderful happy smile of yours. As time passes it does not ease how much we miss you. Wherever you were there was always fun, smiles, and happiness. I really thought by now I would be up there with you, but I'm still here waiting to be with you.... and the Lord and all our family and pets. I know you can see us and this is not what we all thought OUR GOLDEN YEARS WOULD BE LIKE. Please intercede with the Lord for all of us … Jim and I miss you and love you....ALWAYS

We still remember the great times we had with you and Margaret....one of the nicest couples we have had the pleasure of being friends with....
Miss you and all your kindness, and are truly blessed that we got to know you.

Love and miss you Dad!

Happy Birthday, Bill.  Your special present came this week.  Take care of her. Love you.

Happy Birthday Dad! Love you and miss you!!

Hi Bill, I can't believe it's been so long. I've been counting on you to ask the Lord to bring me home too. I still haven't forgot your word that I could go first, but I know that now you are pain free and living in God's Glory... You surely deserve it ! Missing you has not gotten easier... especially for Margaret. I know you and her both feel you are missing a part of yourself. The part where you two were joined at the hip. I get messages from you... like just a day ago I said to Jim " I think I should call Margaret". I know that came from you and I will call her today. When someone is as kind, loving, and honorable as you, we will always miss what you brought to each of us. Time does not diminish our longing to see you again, to have you here with us. But we know you are watching and that some day we will all be together again. Like the song says "YOU DID IT YOUR WAY" and we were SO BLESSED TO BE IN YOUR LIFE". Till we are all together again... we LOVE AND MISS YOU MORE EACH DAY! Judi and Jim

Time goes so quickly. I still can't believe you're gone. Memories of the happy times we had keep me going. Love You so much!

Miss you so much with these new paths to cross. I always have the love you gave me as you still have mine. Till we are together again....

Remembering you today Bill on your birthday...you left lots of great memories to all who knew you.
Thanks for all the memories.

Happy Birthday Dad! I love you, and miss you so much!

Bill we think of you often and very lovingly, as we think of you and Margaret always together and happy.
Good or great people are never forgotten.
We were blessed to have you and Margaret as friends.

I miss you every day, Dad. I listened to the Birthday message you left me 2 days before you passed, and cried hearing your voice. Love and miss you.... Nancy

I can't believe it's been 2 years. Love and miss you so much Dad.

Bill when you left this world....not only did you leave huge void for all your family members, but, also for those of us, that were blessed to be your FRIENDS.
You are thought of often and very lovingly, you were a very good man and a good example for young people to follow your ways.
And always a FRIEND...miss you friend

I've thought a lot about our life these past 2 years since you've been gone. We had the best times together and I miss you so much. I loved you then and I always will. Until we are back together again, you are always in my heart...

Happy 52nd Anniversary Bill! I so wish we could talk...I have so many things that I still need to say. I love you and feel that you are so close on our special day. Until we are together again in the next dimension, I keep you in my heart.

Happy Birthday Papa Bill. May you continue to shine down on your family and Grandma Margaret to provide her strength.

I can't believe it has been a year since you passed. There have been many ups and downs, but your memory lives strong in my heart.
I listen to the message saved on my phone often. I love hearing your voice. I love and miss you. Love, Nancy

I know you continue to shine down on your family and on this one year anniversary we honor what you represented and thank you for bringing a special daughter to me. We also wish Mom Lane peace, comfort, and strength as each day passes. I also continue to enjoy looking at cards with you!!

It's hard to believe a year has passed since you have been gone. I don't cry as much for myself. I'm happy in remembering the good things we shared in the 53 years since we met....and there were many! Four beautiful kids top our accomplishments together as soul mates. I need one of your hugs. Love and miss you!

It's so hard to believe that you have been gone 6 months. This isn't the way it was supposed to end. We planned to be a team to the finish and go together. My heart aches for you. You were my life and I will love you until we are together once again...

Very sad and missing you today on this Fourth of July. I put your Flags out front and will watch Yankee Doodle Dandy and A Capitol 4th as you always did. You got the kids a new Flag to wave at the Wyandotte Parade every year. There were people as patriotic as you, I'm sure, but none more than you! You left me so many great memories.

Happy Father's Day Dad. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Love and miss you very much! Still waiting on that Tim's! : )

I've thanked you for your service many times but this time it's with sadness and missing you that I remember the years you spent in service of the country. I can't think of anything that we left unsaid to each other but I would so love to just talk with you one more time. Love you so much...

Happy Birthday Dad. Miss & love you so much!!

Happy Birthday Babe.....will celebrate as we have in Florida with Marg at your favorite pizza place. ;-) I know this will surprise you (LOL) but I don't have the words to tell you how much I love you.  Miss you so...

Happy Birthday, Uncle Bill.

Hope you had a great Saint Patricks Day. It was always one of your favorite celebration times. A good friend and Flat Rock neighbor was having a Green Beer in your memory yesterday. I know you liked that. You loved listening to our CDs of Irish songs over and over every year. I haven't been able to do that yet, but I will, and it will bring me close to you! Your favorite was Danny Boy....such a beautiful, sad song. It turned out to be so true. But you also liked When Irish Eyes Are Smiling...and you surely did steal my heart away! Love you so...

It has been one month today without you, dad. I remember the good times, and miss you so much. I finally replayed the message you and mom left for me on my birthday. It brought tears of joy, and tears of sadness. I love and miss you very much.

My DEAR FRIEND BILL, it is with a heavy, sad heart that I finally have the courage to write.It feels as if it was only a while ago that you, Margaret and Jim and I met. It also feels like writing this will mean you are really gone .... gone too early! You are one of the BEST human beings I have ever known Bill and you will forever leave a void in my heart that only YOU could fill. You didn't keep your promise that I could be the first one to go, and I told you I wouldn't be good if I had to watch any of the three of you go first. I know you are smiling down from heaven saying "I never said that Judi, you said you needed to be the first one to go". Even now you bring a smile to my face thinking about that conversation we had so many times.I can't believe that you will not be joined to Margaret at the hip like you have the 23yrs I've known you.You were a big man with an even bigger heart and smile!!It brings tears to my eyes every time I think about you being gone ... you brought smiles and laughter to everyone you were around and now we will all miss that personality that made you such a great friend.The memories we have from all our times together we will CHERISH until we see each other again, and your passing will never take those away.I know the Lord was waiting with open arms at the Gates of Heaven to welcome you home and say "WELCOME HOME GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT". You didn't just talk the talk YOU walked the walk, and set a high example for all who knew you. You were a great husband, father, grandfather, and friend to so many people. All of our hearts are missing a piece we will never be able to fill.We do have all our memories and pictures that will always keep you alive in our hearts. I truly miss you Dear Friend and hope you will be there to open the Gates for me. In the meantime I expect you will be putting in a Good Word with the LORD for me, since you didn't keep your promise. Just tell the Lord how you put up with me all those years and it will get you an extra jewel in your crown up there in heaven, (smile) ... With much love Bill, I will truly miss you, Judi

BILL YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED
I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIRST

Dear Papa Bill,

It feels like it wasn't too long ago that I saw you down at my soccer game at University of South Florida. I know how much of a Michigan fan you were and I am so happy that you got to see me in that Maize jersey representing the Block M. I know how proud of me you were. It meant so much to me having you and grandma at that game. Even though we didn't get to see each other all that much because we lived so far away from each other, I still love you so much more than you will ever know! I know that you are going to be watching over me and our family at all times and I know that that Michigan basketball win over MSU was a way of telling me and the rest of our family that everything is going to be okay. I will forever miss you Papa Bill and I love you so much!!!

Love, Nick

When Mary and I lived in Olathe, KS we were in the Detroit area
visiting friends and relatives Margaret and Bill invited us for a
barbecue at their home in Flat Rock, MI. Bill did all the barbecuing
and Margaret did the goodies that go along with the barbecue. 
This is how I remember Bill, and, of course, our get-to-gathers for
breakfasts after Bill and Margaret moved to Florida from Las Vegas
May God Bless Your Soul.

Love and miss you Papa!

Linda this is beautiful! You and your family are in my prayers. God Bless!

"God bless you, Uncle Bill"

To my father in law, a great person, who went with the flow, had a caring heart, and enjoyed the simple things in life. I loved talking sports and talking about the next hot sports card! I thank you for having a great daughter, Nancy who I love very much. I will miss you!
