    I've tried to find words, but there just aren't any. Thanks, Wild Bill, for always loving everyone like they were your own. I spent a lot of time in your home, once upon a time, and I always felt loved & wanted when I was there. I loved laughing & joking around with you. You were definitely a wonderful man...and you have a phenomenal family to show for it. Thank you for always being you. <3 Rest in the sweetest peace. XOXOXOX
