It was ten years ago today,
We celebrated your 49th birthday…
Five month's later, you were among the departed,
Making all of us feel fainthearted...
I'll never forget your beautiful smile,
Which you wore all the while...
Miss you so much, baby brother,
There will never be another!
'Till we meet again...
I forgot to post this poem here on your birthday, March 6th, 2014
Love,

Nine years later, on this day,
There is much I wish to say…
I think about you every day,
But I know you could not stay…
I miss your laugh,
I miss your smile…
Neither lost, nor forgotten,
I imagine them often…
Love & miss my baby brother, Billy!
Till we meet again, baby brother!.

Dear Billy...
Its 11:30 PM and at this time, six years ago, Mom and I had just arrived at Cooper Hospital to see you, after the accident.
We spoke to you, but you already had the ventilation tube down your throat, making it impossible for you to talk to us, but you nodded as we told you we loved you. As you closed those pretty blue eyes, we didn’t know that we would never see them again.
You laid in the hospital for 11 days in a drug induced coma, but I talked to you every day and knew you heard me. On the last night, your body raging with infection, I knew the end was near. So, after talking to you for hours about our childhood and your life and family, I kissed your check and forehead and told you, “Its okay, if you need to go, Baby Brother”. I cried all the way home and prayed for you and couldn’t sleep and when the phone rang at 6 AM I knew you had passed. Although all Candy said was you coded, I told myself you would bounce back one more time, but when I arrived at 6:35 AM, you laid peacefully with your family all around you. Mom and I LOVE and MISS you so much, BILLY…you will always be my Billy!

Happy Father's Day, Billy!
I wish you were here to be with your four 4 children and ten 10 grandchildren, as they are miss you dearly, even the five 5 that arrived after you left, as your children have kept your memory alive!
And of course, Mom and I wish you were here to celebrate your day, but we settled for reminiscing all our Father’s Day gatherings, with all your family.
I know you were at the gates to welcome your favorite Aunt Doris in last Monday, June 14th, 2010, as she passed over. Tomorrow we celebrate the life of Aunt Doris, with a church service and luncheon and Mom and I look forward to spending most of that time with your family, who will be there, as well.
You were definitely Aunt Doris's favorite among all the nieces and nephews, as she loved you like you were her own son…the son she never had and when you passed, she was devastated. Even with her own health issues, she made sure she was at your funeral, with the assistance of a walker, which she no longer needs.
Goodbye and God Bless you Aunt Doris and I am content to know that you are now pain free and happy reuniting with all your family and friends, gone before you.
Happy Father’s Day to you, Daddy and I hope you are looking down at your grave, as I was there on Friday to put flowers for you, my daughter Elizabeth Ann and Nanie, to enjoy! Love you all…
TILL WE MET AGAIN, BABY BROTHER!
LOVE ALWAYS & FOREVER!

Dear Billy...
I haven’t been here in a very long time, almost a year. I was trying to re-create memories and list information that I thought your children and grandchildren would like to know, but honestly, it became too painful.
Today, I thought about how happy you were when your first granddaughter, Emily, was born…14 years ago. You would be very proud of her and her accomplishments, as she is not only a beautiful girl, but an excellent student and popular, too.
I sent her a song gift on Facebook and wanted to mention you to her, but I didn’t want to make her happy day sad, so I decided to come her and post my thoughts, hoping one day she will read this and know how much we both loved her.
TILL WE MET AGAIN, BABY BROTHER!

Dear Billy,
I know I haven't been here for almost eight month's, but you must know that you have never been out of my mind and heart!
I placed flowers on Dad's grave and prayed that you two are together, not only today, but everyday.
I know your son will be reminiscing about all his happy memories with you, especially his last Father's Day with you, June 20th, 2004. He took you golfing and when you returned, Mom and I were there for we all had dinner together. We listened to you two chat about the fun you had that day, as you bonded even more. I clearly remember you making your "fish calls" that night...you were gleaming as you had to tell all your customers, "My son took me golfing for Father's Day today"! What a wonderful memory for him, me and Mom. You were always very proud of him and rightfully so, as he continues to be a wonderful, loving and caring person, blessed with a beautiful family. He loves you and misses you...we all do...and continue to keep your spirit alive for your grandchildren...and God knows you had a lot of "spirit"! lol

Hi, Billy...
Today your son, William S. Mayer, III, is 25 years old...a quarter of a century. That's unbelievable! Yes, the love of your life gave you only one shot at having a son and you did it! Mom, Nanie and I were thrilled...it was a great day for all!
I can clearly remember the day Billy was born...March 10th, 1983...weighing in at 8'15" and 21" long. You kept starring at your son...you were such a "Proud Papa" and you can continue to be proud of him today...25 years later...for all of his accomplishments and his choices in life. And, you should see him with his baby girl, McKayla Rae, as he looks and interacts with her the same way you did with him...its so beautiful to see!
As always, I wish you could be here to enjoy your family the way I doâ?¦

Hi, there...
Well, tomorrow morning Mom, Candy and I leave for "Moon Palace", Cancun, MX.
Mom is very excited as she has never been to Mexico and never to a 6 star hotel with a Jack Nicklaus Golf Course.
When I purchased my timeshare with Palace Resorts in 1991, they only had five resorts and now they have eleven!
Wish you could be with us! I'll be thinking of you, as always!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, BILLY BOY!
Today is our fourth Christmas Day without you and I pray that you are happy enjoying the vision of God and the glorious sounds of the Angels singing, in celebration of the birth of Jesus.
Lately I have been recalling all of our ?Happy? Christmas mornings and now I cherish those special memories as Mom and I try our best to make our own happy memories, even though you and Daddy aren?t with us anymore. Your growing family is a big help, especially Billy?s little bundle of joy, McKayla Rae, who was nine 9 month?s old yesterday, Christmas Eve. She is absolutely a beautiful little girl and yes, I am prejudice, but that doesn?t take away from her natural ?Mayer? beauty?lol!
As I write this, I am looking at pictures I took of you at Sts. Peter & Paul Cemetery Springfield, PA in December, 2003, just seven 7 month?s before you passed. I never did that before?how strange...what ever possessed me to take pictures of you placing the blankets on the graves???? One picture is you placing the blanket on Daddy, Elizabeth?s and Nanie?s grave and the other is standing next to Aunt Betty Jane?s grave, after placing the blanket at her grave. It seems ironic now, as these pictures turned out to be your last annual breakfast and cemetery run with Tommy and me. We have continued with the tradition, except this year, I went alone, as Tommy was sick. It was very difficult for me, much like the first year you weren?t there?again, I cried the entire time. I put blankets on Uncle Don, Donnie and Lisa?s grave, too and then went to St. Michael?s Cemetery Chester, PA to lay a blanket on the grave of our grandmother, Elizabeth M. Scott and Tommy?s sister, Donna Jean Begley, who is buried with her. I visited and prayed for all the Mayer?s at Sts. Peter & Paul?s and then walked around St. Michael?s Cemetery and found many other member?s of the Scott?s side of the family. I took pictures of all the grave?s and sent copies to Mom, Tommy and Billy, III, so someone else has a record.
It?s just after midnight, so I guess I better get to bed, as Mom and I will be leaving in the morning to join your family for brunch, dinner and sharing of all our fond memories of you! We all love and miss you and will never forget you! Oh, and please tell Jesus I said ?Happy Birthday?, too!

My dearest Billy?
Today, July 26th, was one of the saddest days of my life three 3 year?s ago, when you passed away.
The first saddest, was October 26th, 1962 when our Dad died of a heart attack at the age of 32. Mom was 30 and left to raise the two of us; you were 7 and I was 11. I was very close to Daddy and absolutely devastated! I couldn?t understand why the Blessed Mother, for whom he had a great devotion, wanted our Dad, when she already had God and her own son with her. Funny the things you think as a kid!
The second saddest was when my own daughter, Elizabeth Ann, was born and died on St. Patrick?s Day, March 17th, 1985, just six 6 hour?s after birth, as she came into this world 2 month?s premature. I still managed to have faith and believe that God had a reason for everything.
The third saddest was when our Grandmother ?Nanie? died of oat cell cancer, on my 40th Birthday, November 19th, 1990. Of course her passing, exactly thirty 30 days after entering the hospital, was a blessing, as she would never have to endure any pain and suffering?the morphine worked good for her.
And then, you were torn out of my life, without a warning?just how Daddy left us...such a shock it was to all of us! No words could ever describe the hurt and emptiness I felt that morning upon arriving at the hospital and seeing you laying so very still?not something you were ever noted for?sitting still! I felt so alone?your wife had her children and your children had each other, but I had no one. I cried all the way home from the hospital and then had to tell our Mother that ?Dee?s Baby Boy? was gone and she would never see you again?that was brutal!
Well, enough of that...lol! On a brigher note...your ninth grandchild, McKayla Rae Mayer, was christened on July 15th, 2007. Although it was a very joyous occasion, Mom and I were sad thinking about how happy and proud you would have been to be here to see your first blood grandchild make her first sacrament. She is absolutely gorgeous, too! I know how proud you were of your son, Billy, but I am sure that you would be even more proud of him now, with all the accomplishments has had made in the last three 3 year?s. Your son, Billy, doesn?t show his emotions around me or Mom, nor us with him, as I know the hurt of losing a Dad. Some things are left better unsaid. I am sure he thinks about you all the time and wishes he had you in his daily life, but I know that you are in his daily life, watching over his ?little family of three? and will keep them safe!
One day, when I am long gone, I hope your son reads and prints out this journal I have left for him, to pass onto his child/children, which gives a lot of information?some that no one else would know.
Your wife and I spoke for four and half hours last night and right after midnight, we chatted with you and continued to reminisce about our life with you...and that was good for both of us!
I love you, Billy?you will always be Billy to me. I pray for you everyday that you are at peace and enjoying being with Daddy, Elizabeth and Nanie and that you will all be there to greet us when we arrive on the other side...that thought comforts me!

Hi, Billy...
I chatted with your old friend, Billy, today, and it was good to hear that he thinks of you often, as we all do.
It?s so very hard for us to believe that we will never see your smiling face anymore, but I am fortunate that I am able to hear your voice in my head, as clear as if you were speaking to me now. I was never able to hear Daddy's voice after he died, so it is pleasing to me to be able to hear your voice and your laugh, which I hold very dear to me!
Tomorrow will be thirty-four 34 month?s, since you?ve been gone, but it seems so much longer?and the hurt is the same, but I just deal with it better.
Well, I have to stop crying and get Mom and I packed up for our Memorial weekend with friend?s at the shore, but I just wanted you to know that you are on my mind, everyday of my life!

Hi, Bill...
Well, it may be April Fool?s day, but its no joke?your first blood grandchild, is certainly a reflection of you?a true ?Mayer Baby?!
Yesterday was the baby shower for ?McKayla Rae Mayer?, which she attended as she arrived a month early, but in perfect health?a true Mayer?impatient?lol!
I wrote your son a poem, which says it all?Enjoy it, as I know Billy did?
When you were just a little boy,
You were Aunt Marsha?s pride and joy?
Oh how I loved spending time with you,
There was nothing more I would rather do?
And how could I resist that face,
That I could do nothing but embrace?
When you would run up to me and ask,
Read me ?God Books?, Aunt Marsha, fast?
And now the time has come for you,
To do the reading you had me do?
Since I know you don?t have those books,
I tried and found one?s that have the same looks?
These ?Golden Books? are for you to share,
With McKayla Rae, while in a rocking chair?
Her pretty head will be filled with love,
With stories of our God above?
And I know she will understand,
That God and life go hand in hand?
Tell her that her Poppy has gone,
To join God in heaven to help the fish?s spawn?
He?ll always be just a thought away,
And will watch over her every day?
To keep her safe and sound, you see,
As he also loves this beautiful family of three!
Love always and forever,
Aunt Marsha

Hi, Bill?
Its so hard to believe its been 31 month?s ago today that we last saw you, as we all huddled over your hospital bed, crying our eye?s out?in total disbelief that you were really gone!
The night before you died, I sat next to your bed, talking to you for hours about your life, while you laid there lifeless, in a drug induced coma. Your nurse told me to keep talking to you, as you could hear me and I was reaching your dream state. That state similar to falling asleep with the TV on?which you always did?and waking up, realizing that you were dreaming about what was on TV. I knew that had happened to me, so I found comfort in knowing that my words reached your dream state and filled your head with all of the fond memories that you shared with all of us.
As I kissed you Good Night, I knew it was Good Bye and somehow I found the strength to whisper ?its okay to go?, if you need to, Baby Brother, but my heart was saying "fight for your life", as I prayed to God for a miracle. I know you tried very hard, but the odds were against you and I believe it was just ?your time??you had used your ?9 lives?!
Yesterday would have been Daddy?s 77th birthday, but unfortunately, he was only able to enjoy 32 of those birthdays and has now been gone for almost 45 year?s. A comforting thought for me and Mom is knowing that you are with Daddy, Elizabeth, Nanie and the rest of the clan.

I have only a few memories of my cousin Billy. The most recent was at a family affair probably around 10 years ago. I met his wife, and his / her extended family, and we talked and laughed. The thing that struck me was his devotion to his mom, sister and grandmom. I remember telling my wife "you know, for all of Bill's bravado and moxy, he'll always be a young kid at heart that loves Dee and Marsha, and will do anything he can to protect them." It's a really nice memory.

Everyone is so very happy for Billy and Cait...they will be wonderful parent's and if you could put in a request up there, we would like a healthy, happy baby...or two, or three...lol!
Remember how I used to tell your son about his Pop Pop? Everytime he came over my house, he would point to our Dad's picture and say "Hi, Pop Pop...its me, Billy"! Just as I filled his head with stories of his grandfather, I will do the same with his child...your grandchild...one that will never get to meet you, but don't worry, Bill, I will tell him all about his Poppy...he will know you through me and love you like we always will!

Dear Billy?
Today is exactly two 2 year?s since you crossed over and it is still very difficult for all of us to come to terms with the idea of you never being in our lives again, but we are doing our best by staying close to one another.
Mom and I try to fill our thoughts of you with the idea that you are happy on the other side, going about the daily routine of making sure all of us get to join you and the rest of our family in Heaven, when the time comes for us.
As you must know, I think of you everyday and miss you so much, but you did leave us all such "fond memories" to cherish, which somehow makes our lives bearable, without you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BILL! YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN 51 TODAY. I CAN STILL DISTINCTLY HEAR YOU SAY, ?I?M NEVER GOING TO MAKE IT TO 50? AND MUCH TO OUR SURPRISE, YOU DIDN?T.
I REMEMBER HOW WE USED TO LAUGH AT NANIE, WHO SAID SHE WAS GOING TO DIE, FOR THE LAST THIRTY YEARS OF HER LIFE, BUT SHE AT LEAST MADE IT TO 78. HOW I WILL MISS GETTING OLD WITH YOU AND SWAPPING STORIES OF OUR CHILDHOOD AND THOSE CRAZY TEENAGE YEARS THAT NEITHER ONE OF US WOULD PROBABLY REMEMBER CORRECTLY, ANYWAY!
WE WILL BE CELEBRATING ALL THE BIRTHDAY?S YOUR'S, MELANIE, BILLY & JIM, AS YOU USUALLY DID?AT MORTON?S IN PHILADELPHIA?WITH ME, MOM, CANDY, BILLY & CAITLIN, MELANIE & JOHN, JUDY & JIM, MATTHEW AND JIMMY.
WE WILL BE THINKING ABOUT YOU AND WISHING YOU COULD PHYSICALLY BE WITH US, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH US!
LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER!

HEY, BILL!
THE STEELERS WON! IRONICALLY WITH THE SAME SCORE THEY HAD WHEN WE WERE AT THE SUPER BOWL, BACK IN 1976??21?!
STEELERS CAPTURE SUPER BOWL XL TITLE, 21-10 - DETROIT FEB. 5, 2006 -- IT'S CALLED THE VINCE LOMBARDI TROPHY, SYMBOLIC OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE NFL, BUT ON THIS NIGHT IT SERVED AS THE MOST EMPHATIC ENDORSEMENT EVER FOR COACHING CONTINUITY. PAINT THIS SUPER BOWL BLACK AND GOLD. WITH A WHOLE LOT OF SATISFACTION FOR JEROME BETTIS, BILL COWHER AND HIS PITTSBURGH STEELERS. THE STEELERS' 21-10 VICTORY IN THE SUPER BOWL WAS THEIR RECORD-TYING FIFTH, BUT THE FIRST SINCE 1980 AND THE FIRST EVER FOR BETTIS AND COWHER. "IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLE RIDE," BETTIS SAID. MOMENTS AFTER THE ROLLING STONES ROCKED A FORD FIELD THAT COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN HEINZ FIELD -- OR HINES' FIELD ? WILLIE PARKER BROKE A RECORD 75-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN. THE STEELERS EARNED THAT ELUSIVE RING AND COMPLETED A MAGIC BUS RIDE THAT MADE BETTIS' HOMECOMING -- AND FAREWELL -- A SUCCESS. THAT'S BECAUSE WHEN THIS NIGHT ENDED, THE TROPHY RESTED IN THE HANDS OF BILL COWHER, WHO HAS THE LONGEST TENURE WITH THE SAME TEAM OF ANY COACH IN THE LEAGUE.
LOVE ALWAYS & FOREVER,

HI, BILL...
IT'S SUPER BOWL XL TODAY, WITH THE PITTSBURGH STEELER'S AND THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS!
WE WILL ALL BE MISSING YOU, AS WE WATCH THE GAME TODAY, ESPECIALLY YOUR ?SUPER BOWL? BUDDIES?YOUR SON?S, BILLY & EDDIE, YOUR SON-IN-LAW'S, SCOTT & JOHN AND YOUR BEST FRIEND, JIM!
IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE IT WAS THIRTY 30 YEARS AGO THAT WE BOTH ATTENDED ?SUPER BOWL X? ON JANUARY 18, 1976, IN MIAMI, FL.
UNFORTUNATELY, YOU WERE IN A CAR ACCIDENT THE NIGHT BEFORE AND WE SPENT ALL NIGHT AND MORNING IN THE HOSPITAL, BUT AS SOON AS YOU WERE RELEASED, WE WENT RIGHT TO JOHN BENSON?S HOUSE IN FORT LAUDERDALE.
WE THEN CRUISED OVER TO THE GAME IN MIAMI ON TWO BOATS?JOHN BENSON?S "TIMMY TOO II" AND TOM BRUDER, JR.?S ?GUNGA DIN?!
NOTHING WAS GOING TO STOP YOU FROM GOING ?FIRST CLASS? AND IN STYLE TO THE SUPER BOWL?NOT EVEN LOSING YOUR TWO FRONT TEETH?LOL!
WE WERE AMONG THE 80,187 PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED THAT GAME AND WATCHED THE PITTSBURGH STEELER'S WIN OVER THE DALLAS COWBOY'S, 21 TO 17!
THE STEELER?S WON THE SUPER BOWL FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW ON TERRY BRADSHAW'S 64-YARD TOUCHDOWN PASS TO LYNN SWANN AND AN AGGRESSIVE DEFENSE THAT SNUFFED OUT A LATE RALLY BY THE COWBOYS WITH AN END-ZONE INTERCEPTION ON THE FINAL PLAY OF THE GAME. IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, PITTSBURGH RAN ON FOURTH DOWN AND GAVE UP THE BALL ON THE COWBOYS' 39 WITH 1:22 TO PLAY. ROGER STAUBACH RAN AND PASSED FOR TWO FIRST DOWNS BUT HIS LAST DESPERATION PASS WAS PICKED OFF BY GLEN EDWARDS. DALLAS'S SCORING WAS THE RESULT OF TWO TOUCHDOWN PASSES BY STAUBACH, ONE TO DREW PEARSON FOR 29 YARDS AND THE OTHER TO PERCY HOWARD FOR 34 YARDS. TONI FRITSCH HAD A 36-YARD FIELD GOAL. THE STEELERS SCORED ON TWO TOUCHDOWN PASSES BY BRADSHAW, ONE TO RANDY GROSSMAN FOR SEVEN YARDS AND THE LONG BOMB TO SWANN. ROY GERELA HAD 36- AND 18-YARD FIELD GOALS. REGGIE HARRISON BLOCKED A PUNT THROUGH THE END ZONE FOR A SAFETY. SWANN SET A SUPER BOWL RECORD BY GAINING 161 YARDS ON HIS FOUR RECEPTIONS.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT WAS AN EXCITING GAME! IT WAS THE ONE AND ONLY SUPER BOWL THAT EITHER OF US EVERY ATTENDED. AFTER THE GAME, WE VACATIONED THERE IN FORT LAUDERDALE FOR ANOTHER TEN 10 DAYS BEFORE RETURNING HOME.
I AM DOCUMENTING SOME OF YOUR HISTORY "BC"...BEFORE CANDY...ON YOUR WEBSITE, SO THAT ONE DAY, WHEN I AM NO LONGER HERE TO ?FILL THEM IN? THEY CAN VISIT HERE TO GET THE ?STATS?!
ABOUT SEVEN 7 WEEK'S LATER, ON MARCH 6TH, 1976, YOU TURNED 21 YEARS OLD! IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, YOU MET CANDY WITHIN A MONTH OR SO...WITH TEETH!
'TILL WE MEET AGAIN...LOVE ALWAYS & FOREVER, BABY BROTHER!

DID YOU ACTUALLY THINK I FORGOT YOUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY? WRONG! I WAS STAYING AT YOUR HOUSE AND DIDN?T WANT TO WRITE FROM THERE, AS YOU KNOW, I CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET THROUGH WRITING TO YOU WITHOUT CRYING?LOL!
ACTUALLY, ON THIS DAY LAST YEAR, I WAS ATTENDING YOUR WAKE AND GREETING YOUR FRIEND?S AND FAMILY, WITH YOUR MOTHER, WIFE AND CHILDREN. WASN?T IT JUST YESTERDAY THAT WE PLAYED TOGETHER?LAUGHED TOGETHER?CRIED TOGETHER?TALKED TOGETHER? IT REALLY SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY, BILL, WHEN LIFE WAS CAREFREE?HOW I MISS THOSE TIMES WE SHARED! THEN, ALL TOO SOON IN OUR EARLY LIVES WE HAD TO FACE THE TRAGEDY OF LOSING OUR FATHER?AND NOW, I HAVE LOST YOU! IT?S EVEN HARDER TO BELIEVE THAT THIS PAST TUESDAY, JULY 26TH, 2005, HAS ALREADY BEEN ONE YEAR!
THEY SAY THAT TIME FLIES WHILE YOU?RE HAVING FUN. WELL, IT DID FLY, EVEN THOUGH WE WEREN?T HAVING FUN WITHOUT YOU, BUT WE HAVE HAD A FEW HAPPY EVENTS THAT YOU MISSED! YOUR OLDEST DAUGHTER HAD A BABY GIRL, MACKENZIE DEE?A SISTER FOR ERIC AND EMILY?YOUR OLDEST SON HAD A BABY BOY, DANIEL JOHN ?A BROTHER FOR JOSEPH AND ?YOUR BABY GIRL? PAM, DELIVERED A 9 LB. 15 OZ. BABY GIRL ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 27TH, 2005?LINDSEY RACHAEL?A SISTER FOR GILLIAN & SCOTT. SO, YOU NOW HAVE EIGHT 8 GRANDCHILDREN INSTEAD OF FIVE 5. SEE WHAT OTHER THINGS A YEAR CAN BRING? ALTHOUGH YOUR YOUNGEST SON, BILLY, ISN?T MARRIED YET OR EVEN THINKING ABOUT CHILDREN AT THIS TIME IN HIS LIFE, HE IS WELL ON HIS WAY TO ESTABLISHING A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE. LIKE YOU, I TOO AM VERY PROUD OF HIM, AS WELL AS HIS MOTHER AND SIBLINGS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, BILL, WE HAVE ALL MISSED YOU TERRIBLY, BUT KEEP TRYING TO FIND COMFORT IN KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE MOVED ONTO A MUCH BETTER PLACE AND ARE FINALLY AT PEACE. ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL TO ?YOUR WIFE?, AS YOU ALWAYS REFERRED TO HER LOL, ESPECIALLY JIM AND JUDY. MOM AND I TALK TO CANDY ALMOST EVERY DAY AND STAY AT YOUR HOUSE OFTEN, SPENDING QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY, BUT, IT CAN NEVER BE THE SAME?FOR ANY OF US. I AM HOPING THAT TIME WILL HELP US ALL TO HEAL A LITTLE, ALTHOUGH A YEAR HASN?T MADE MUCH DIFFERENCE. I KNOW THAT I STILL HURT SO MUCH SOMETIMES, I FEEL LIKE MY HEART IS GOING TO BREAK, BUT SOME HOW I SURVIVE. IT?S HOPELESS TO LOOK FOR SOME JUSTIFICATION OF WHY YOU AREN'T WITH US?IT JUST DOESN?T EXIST. BUT, I KNOW SOMEDAY WE WILL ALL HAVE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS WE HAD HERE ON EARTH AND THAT PROBABLY, AT THAT TIME, IT WON?T REALLY MATTER ANYMORE.
IN THE MEANTIME, I DO HOPE YOU KNOW THAT WE WILL ALL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOU AND HOPE YOU WILL DO THE SAME FOR US. WE HAVE SO MANY PLEASANT MEMORIES OF YOU AND THE WONDERFUL MEANING YOU BROUGHT TO OUR LIVES. I KEEP YOUR LAST CHRISTMAS CARD TO ME IN MY NIGHTSTAND AND LOOK AT IT VERY OFTEN??SISTER, YOU MEAN SO MUCH???LOVE ALWAYS & FOREVER, BILL?. YOU UNDERLINED THE WORDS TO DENOTE MEANING, AS YOU ALWAYS DID, BUT YOU ADDED ?& FOREVER? TO THE ?LOVE ALWAYS?. NOW, IN RETROSPECT, IT APPEARS YOU MAY HAVE HAD AN UNCONSCIOUS PREMONITION OF YOUR SHORT LIFE SPAN. WHATEVER IT WAS, I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH AND KEEP THAT CARD CLOSE TO MY HEART, AS WELL AS THE MEMORY OF THE FORTY-NINE YEARS I SPENT WITH YOU. ?TILL WE MEET AGAIN, BABY BROTHER?

WE ARE ALL MISSING YOU SO MUCH IN OUR DAILY LIVES, BUT I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT YOU HAVE FOUND A PEACE AND HAPPINESS FAR BEYOND WHAT WE COULD EVER IMAGINE AND ARE STAYING VERY BUSY TRYING TO WATCH OVER ALL OF US!

IN MY HEART, I WAS CELEBRATING YOUR BIRTH AND GRATEFUL FOR HAVING YOU IN MY LIFE FOR FORTY-NINE 49 YEARS, BUT MY HEART JUST ACHED ALL DAY?NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY, BILL! WE WILL ALL MISS YOU TERRIBLY, THIS FIRST HOLIDAY WITHOUT YOU, BUT WE WILL TRY TO COMFORT EACH OTHER WITH THE LOVE THAT WE ALL HAVE FOR YOU! I WILL BE GIVING ANOTHER SPEECH TODAY...I KNOW YOU WOULD HAVE LIKE IT TOO...HERE IT IS:
THE ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING DAY, IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN. AFTER WEEKS OF BATTLING EXTREMELY STORMY WEATHER? STRONG WINDS AND POUNDING WAVES AND MANY PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SHIP?THE PILGRAMS SPOTTED CAPE COD, MA. BEFORE LANDING ON NOVEMBER 11TH, 1620, THEY DEVISED THE "MAYFLOWER" COMPACT, WHICH WAS THE BASIS FOR GOVERNING THEIR NEW COLONY, WHERE ALL WOULD HAVE THE FREEDOM TO WORSHIP GOD, AS THEY CHOSE. THE NEXT FEW MONTH'S WERE VERY DIFFICULT, PLAGUED WITH INFECTION AND SICKNESS, LEAVING ONLY 56 SURVING PILGRIMS, OF THE ORIGINAL 103. AS SPRING APPROACHED, THE SURVIVORS BUILT HOMES AND PLANTED CROPS. AFTER REAPING THEIR HARVEST, IN THE FALL OF 1621, THE PILGRIMS DEDICATED A DAY FOR THANKING GOD, WHICH WE NOW CELEBRATE AS "THANKSGIVING" DAY. THEY THANKED GOD FOR THE BOUNTY HE HAD BLESSED THEM WITH, THEY THEN PREPARED A GREAT FEAST TO ENJOY WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS, INCLUDING THEIR NEIGHBORING INDIAN TRIBES. THEY LET THE GLORIOUS NAME OF GOD HAVE ALL THE PRAISE FOR THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
AS WE KNOW, FROM THE BIBLE, JESUS "TOOK THE SEVEN LOAVES AND THE FISH AND WHEN HE HAD GIVEN THANKS, HE BROKE THEM AND GAVE THEM TO THE DISCIPLES." AT THE "LAST SUPPER", JESUS TOOK BREAD AND GAVE THANKS, LIFTED THE CUP AND GAVE THANKS AND OFFERED IT TO HIS FOLLOWERS?JESUS ALWAYS PRAYED BEFORE MEALS.
THE REAL TEST OF THANKFULNESS IS WHETHER WE CAN GIVE THANKS FROM THE "HEART" FOR WHAT WE "DO HAVE", DESPITE THE WOUNDS AND PAINS OF YESTERDAY'S STRUGGLES AND LOSSES. OUR FAITH AND LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER ARE BUT A RESILIENT TRUST IN THE MIDST OF PAIN. LET US NOT FORGET, THAT WHAT WE DO AND SAY, NOT ONLY TODAY, BUT EVERYDAY ARE FORMING OUR CHILDREN'S FAITH! OUR CELEBRATION TODAY, WILL INSTRUCT THEM ABOUT "THANKFULNESS" FOR GOOD OR ILL. AND MAYBE AS THEY WATCH "US" THEY WILL GET THE HINT THAT WE ARE TRULY THANKFUL FOR ALL OF GOD'S BLESSINGS ON THIS SPECIAL DAY, DESPITE THE PAIN OF OUR LOSSES.
TODAY WE ARE ALL MISSING THE PHYSICAL PRESENCE OF SOMEONE THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT IN ALL OF OUR LIVES?BILL?HUSBAND, FATHER, GRANDFATHER, SON, BROTHER AND FRIEND?BUT, WE SHOULD FIND COMFORT IN KNOWING THAT HIS SPIRITUAL PRESENCE WILL BE WITH US, IN OUR HEARTS, ALWAYS! KEEPING YOUR VISIONS AND THOUGHTS OF HIM WILL ENABLE US TO LOOK DEEPLY INTO OUR OWN HEART'S AND RECOGNIZE THAT OUR BELOVED, BILL, CAN AND WILL MANIFEST HIMSELF AGAIN AND AGAIN IN MANY FORMS, AS WE EMBRACE THE JOY OF OUR LIVES AND HIS. WE NEED TO FOCUS OUR ATTENTION AND EFFORTS ON THE THINGS THAT WE CAN CHANGE?HERE AND NOW! NO, WE CAN NOT CHANGE THE PAST, BUT WE CAN CHANGE THE FUTURE?WE NEED TO COME TO TERMS WITH THE TRUE NATURE OF OUR EXISTENCE AND REALIZE THAT DEATH IS NOT A TERRIFYING FINAL ENDING, BUT YET ANOTHER BEGINNING.
TODAY, WE CELEBRATE AND GIVE THANKS TO GOD, NOT ONLY FOR THE FOOD AND MATERIAL THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH, BUT FOR THE VERY EXISTENCE OF BILL IN OUR LIVES AND THE LOVE WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE FOR HIM AND EACH OTHER!

I met Billy when he was a very young child. I liked him very much. I hope he liked me. Unfortunately, I did not have the priviledge to know him as an adult, but I knew he would turn out to be a fine man. It's been confirmed that he grew up to be an excellent person evidenced by how he treated other people specially his loving mother. He was a caring and devoted son and It's my loss that I didn't have the priviledge to share a couple of beers with him. Here's one to you Billy.

Today, the three 3 month anniversary date of your passing July 26th, 2004, I am also thinking back to the events of this day, forty-two 42 years ago October 26th, 1962, the death of our Daddy.
In my grief, over not having either one of my "Billy's" here, I have found consolation in the knowledge that the two of you now have each other and Mom and I still have "your family" and yet another Billy, your son, William S. Mayer, III. Your wife has announced, to all your friends and family who can work it in their schedule, the "Bill Mayer Memorial Cruise" in your honor, which will be sailing the Eastern Caribbean on April 17th, 2005. It will be another wonderful way for us, your family, to "commemorate" your life and be with our friends?our "chosen" loved one's! Honoring your life, will be a further realization, to all of us, that "life is very short", so we should make the very best of every day, making time to be with family and friend's!
I think of you every day and miss you so much!

We had yet another tragedy and buried your first cousin, Lisa, last Saturday. Two Eulogies in seven weeks was a little tuff for me, but I felt your presence and gained enough strength to get through both.
The Eagles won today and I'm sure that made your son, Billy, happy, but sad not to have shared that joy with you, as always. Sports will never be the same for him, I'm sure, but you left him so many fond memories to cherish.
You left us all "fond memories" to cherish, which somehow will make our lives bearable.
Miss you, baby brother!

Yo! What's up? How I long to hear you say those words, that so identified your favorite telephone calling expression when you called me! I wonder if you know that I come here every day to visit you? Although, sometimes it makes me cry, it also gives me some comfort just to be able to have a place to feel closer to you.
Today is exactly six 6 weeks since you left us?or did you really leave us? I know that several of us have felt your presence, including myself?you're still a prankster! I have also recalled so many of our nightly conversation's and feel fortunate to have been privy to some of your inter most thoughts, several of which I have shared with your family, giving them great comfort?and I hope I can continue to do so!
All of your family and friends are missing you, like I am?and hurting?but we are all trying our best to heal?it's just so difficult without you!
Well, baby brother, I have a peaceful feeling now, so I will leave on that note and be back later!

Dear Marsha, Candy, Dee Baby, and Family,
I apologize for the time that is has taken me to respond to Bill's tragic death. Marsh as you know I was on the road from Jacksonville back to Clearwater on the day you gave me the news. When we hear news like this, our lives suddenly flash before us and we realize how short life on this earth is. The most important thing to me is remembering the good times we had when we were kids and as adults. Time and distance for me has been a factor that I had to deal with in many ways in my life especially the loss of a loved one, not being able to be there to hold and console the family that is left behind.
Billy... We had some great conversations, private and open, I remember the day you told me you plan to possibly move to Fort Myers, you said you wanted to retire there and how lucky I was to already be here. I only wish I were luckier to get another phone call to say that you were going ahead with your plans. Say Hello to everyone for me, you will always be with me in spirit. Good Bless You. Uncle Allan.

Dear Candy and children, Dee and Marsha,
We just found out today, August 16th, about Bill's homegoing. We are devastated. Mostly because we did not take the time to get together since the family moved to Jersey. Life always seems so busy, and we never make the time to do so many important things. Then we regret it. We will always remember Bill fondly--he was a character as a teenager and a very special "Best Man" in our wedding. I Charele will always remember Bill pulling out his fake teeth after his accident in Florida, and showing them off--I almost passed out! He thought it was funny. Keith and I had many wild times with him as teenagers, but we never really spent time with him as we grew older. Keith came to know the Lord and is a born-again Christian, and I know he feels bad that he didn't share his faith with Bill while he was alive. We had tragedy in our family in 2003 when my Charele dad drowned in our pool when it was not even opened for the season. He fell in, trying to clean leaves off the cover. He was 85. It was tragic, unexpected, and devastating. Our daughter was supposed to get married 3 weeks later and it was called off the DAY BEFORE, due to a problem between the couple. Our whole world was turned upside down for months. I have to say that nothing seems the same anymore, and we pray that the Lord will sustain you all and give you peace about Bill's passing on. None of us know the hour or the day, but we need to be ready when our time comes. We will keep all of you in prayer--we can imagine the heartache and we feel so badly that we missed the funeral. We don't read the Daily Times and no one called us. Thank God Marsha thought to call Keith today--we would never want any of you to think we didn't care. God bless you and keep you in the palm of His hand. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Let us always remember to tell our loved ones how much they mean to us while we can. Trust in the Lord--He will hold you up and give you strength when you need it most. God bless you all and may you only have good memories of your times with Bill. Love always.

Dear Candy and Family, Dee and Marsha,
What a great friend Bill Mayer was to me. I first met Billy in 7th grade and we did many, many fun things together. Throughout our teen years, I was perhaps his closest friend. He was my best man in my wedding twenty seven years ago this month. But we were busy with life and business, and he and Candy moved to Jersey. I always looked forward to the days in the future when I would spend time with Bill and we would reminisce about the times we had, and now I won't have that chance. Not in this life. A big part of my life, and a true friend has been lost. I share your pain and emptyness in this great loss.
What memories. As teenagers, we were both a bit rebellious and pushed the limits on every front. In many ways, I looked up to him, respected his quick wit, magnetic personality and his ability to attract girls! I tagged along on many great adventures. I must mention his family before I go much further. The mutual love and admiration the family had for each other was something to behold and I'm glad I got an inside look. How they would beam when they would look at him! I know he missed his Dad, who died young, and that made his family very close. He had such a unique and great relationship with his Mom and his Sister and during the turbulent growing up years, they came to his, and our aid, many times. That family relationship was something I always envied. I remember many times that Dee and Marsha would go out of their way, any time of the day or night, to take care of Bill. They always offered loving wisdom and they were not afraid to set him straight, which I know for a fact he greatly appreciated.
I was fortunate to share the struggles of life as a teen with Bill, and in some ways I grew wise watching him. How generous Bill was to include me in: the trip to Florida where we stayed at our own apartment on the isle of Venice and rode on Marsha's boss's boat to the 1975 Super Bowl, slthough Bill was in great pain that's the time where he cheated death by falling asleep at the wheel after he drove almost non-stop and was up around the clock, rides to school in Marsha's SS396, the many nights at the bowling alley, or on Front Street racing, or working on cars, or at the shore, or crashing parties, or dreaming up business deals and fantasy scenarios. For me, as a teenager, being with Bill Mayer was always the best place to be.
Those experiences gave me the hunger and motivation to have more and more. Striving to live those dreams that I had as a seventeen year old, I tried it all, and had it all. Still I was unfullfilled. I found that I had a God-shaped hole in my heart, and nothing but God would fit. Life is short, Bill's death is proof of that: but eternity is forever. Now I know that this life is just "boot camp" for eternity. God wants us to accept his Son in this life so that we can spend eternity with Him. We are all seperated from God unless we accept his Son, Jesus, who redeems us from eternal seperation from Him. I hope and pray that Bill and I will catch up in heaven. And for you that read this, Bill's death is proof of the fact that any one of us could die at any moment. Don't be indifferent about where you will spend eternity. Seek God and you will find Him. Then we can not only rejoice about our great hope of heaven, but also have the peace right now, and the joy and comfort that comes from knowing Him.
God Bless,
Keith Raport

Dear Marsha & Dee -
I will always remember Billy as the ornery 'lil brother who always wanted to pal around with us and play tricks on us when we were teenagers. Even as an adult he always had that fun spirit. He certainly loved his family and made sure he told me all about them when I saw him which already has been several years ago. Having lost my sister suddenly at a young age brought this all home to me and I feel for you both. I care deeply for the two of you and can only say that time will ease the pain, but Bill's memory will never be gone and somehow those memories will carry you forever. God bless you both and to Candy and Billy's children my deepest condolences!

FOR THOSE OF YOU, WHO COULDN'T ATTEND BILL'S MASS, THIS IS THE EULOGY THAT I GAVE...
I'VE NEVER BEEN ONE FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING, BUT TODAY IT SEEMED NECESSARY & APPROPRIATE. I KNOW MY BROTHER WOULD NOT WANT THIS TO BE A SOLEMN FAREWELL, AS HE WAS ALWAYS SO "HAPPY-GO-LUCKY" AND "FULL OF LIFE"!
I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU A FEW TYPICAL "BILL" STORIES AND SAYINGS TO MAKE YOU LAUGH AS HE ALWAYS DID. FROM THE TIME HE WAS BORN, HE COULD CHARM "HIS WAY" IN OR OUT OF ANYTHING, WITH THOSE PRETTY BLUE EYES AND BEAUTIFUL SMILE. THEN HE BECAME SKILLED AT TALKING HIS WAY INTO "WHOEVER" OR "WHATEVER" HE WANTED TO BE, WHILE DEVELOPING THAT UNIQUE SENSE OF HUMOR?YES, HE TRULY WAS A "MAYER"!
HE EVEN CARRIED THAT HUMOR WITH HIM IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM, AS HE TOLD SOMEONE THAT THE ONLY THING THAT WAS HURTING HIM WAS HIS PRIDE, AS HE LAID THERE IN THE NUDE?CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? YES, I CAN?BILL WAS VERY MODEST MAN!
AS A CHILD, BILL WAS LIKE A "BULL IN A CHINA SHOP" AND "GREW UP" TO BE "AN ACCIDENT, LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HAPPEN"?OR "DID HE EVER REALLY GROW UP"? HE CERTAINLY LIVED A FULL LIFE?18,040 DAYS, TO BE EXACT?AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE DAYS HAD A STORY!
NOW, I WILL SPEAK FOR BILL, AS I KNOW THIS IS WHAT HE WOULD PROBABLY SAY, IF HE COULD?
WELL, "TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST WITH YOU", I WASN'T PREPARED TO BE SEPARATED FROM "ALL" OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS, EITHER, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE. I ARRIVED UP HERE ON ANGEL'S WINGS AND WAS GREETED BY MY DAD AND THE REST OF THE MAYER BOYS?WHAT A GROUP?AND I AM MEETING OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS ON A DAILY BASIS!
UNFORTUNATELY, ALL OF YOU HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO DEAL WITH LIFE, WITHOUT ME PRESENT, BUT, I WILL BE WITH YOU IN SPIRIT?ALWAYS?WATCHING OVER YOU. YOU "ALL" GAVE ME SUCH LOVE AND JOY AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I CONSIDERED MYSELF A "BLESSED" AND "HAPPY MAN", FOR YOU "ALL" ENRICHED MY LIFE AND MADE IT SO COMPLETE!
"LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING", WE HAVE TO MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT LIFE DEALS US?ONE DAY THAT WILL BE DEATH. WHEN THAT DAY ARRIVES, I WILL BE WAITING TO GREET YOU, UNLESS OF COURSE, IT'S CRAB SEASON, THEN I MIGHT BE A LITTLE BUSY. AS FOR NOW, I HAVE TO GO "CON" SOMEBODY INTO TELLING ME JUST HOW JESUS DID THAT LOAVES AND FISHES TRICK!
LOVE ALWAYS,
BILL
BETTER KNOWN AS "BILLY" AND ALSO KNOWN AS "DEE'S BABY BOY", "FISHMAN" AND "KING OF THE CRAB'S"!

l am speechless about the tragic loss of this dear person and this Up-Beat human being. Bill was never one to let anyone know when times were going rough. He always smiled and tried to help "other people" in any capacity. Truly a sad sad day for alot of people who knew him. Truly a reality check for me and the realization of what legacy l will leave behind. Daily,as we live our life----This "truly is a life" of what you put back in----not what you take out! That is ones legacy! I will be saddened for a long time to come as I think back of all the fond memories Billy and I shared.
