FUNERAL NOTICE — Arrangements will be private.
I just was going through some old college papers and ran into my old favorite professor's name and decided to Google him. I love his websites which are still on, yet when I saw the site which stated his death, it made my heart fall. There are so many things I have learned since my days of Sage and our trip to Italy, which I enjoyed immensely. I wanted to have a nice talk with Bill and do a 9th step with him. I had a funny feeling about Bill, but was hoping against hope that he was alive and well. I wanted him of all people to see the recovered me, and make amends for any craziness on my part.
Thank you for letting me share.
