Very Long And Very Sad Day For My Family

BillinCentralMO · Mar 19, 2011

We buried my Father today in a little cemetary in Rosebud near the farm he grew up on. He died early Tues. at the nursing home.I put together a real nice send off for him. My wife sure helped out alot and made it a lot easier for me than doing it alone. He was the last of his generation on that side. I'm exhausted and feeling pretty old myself now. His suffering is over though. Going to try and pick myself up and go back to work tomorrow and try and get my mind off it.I was the one that took care of him and did the best I could. Wish now life had left me more time to spend with him.I hope he's at peace now.

God saw you both were getting weary, and thought you had enough so He took him home.

I just lost a Brother in law today at 7:26 PM and it really hasn't sunk in yet.

My condolences to you and yours.

Bill, Roy, prayers on the way for you both. I've already been down that road before you, it just isn't easy no matter what, but a good spouse truly shows their worth at a time like this. Th pain will dull with time and be replaced with fond memories of good time had by both. God bless you both and your families.

The Master will take care of him now --- lost my mom some time ago and it comes back to me with all the good memories as her birthday is tommorow. Always remember the first day of spring and all the great times she taught me things. God will take good care of your Dad -- God Bless you and yours. Jim

Today was a dark day in your life. The days ahead will get brighter but there will still be rough days mixed in. My dad died almost two years ago. On his funeral day, I was filled with the sorrow of his passing but it was offset with the pride of being able to call him dad. As time has passed the feelings of pride have grown, and those of sorrow have diminished.

Wishing you and your family the best.

I remember clearly the day we buried my dad. 19 yrs. ago March 20. When we were riding from church to cemetary and back all the traffic and people bustling around with their dayly lives as if nothing had changed. I just wanted to shout out to them--WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? DON'T YOU REALIZE MY DAD JUST DIED?--but in fact they didn't know and it was just my emotions coming through and it is a natural part of grieving. But as the years go by you will come to adjust and it will get easier. and now 19 years later when I think back to things we did together, instead of tears there is a smile comes across my face. I can tell by your words that you really loved your dad and you are really sad but think about the good times and I bet as you read this, a smile will come across your face. You have my sympathy, The Flying Belgian. Greg.

Bill and Roy, Sorry to hear of your losses. March 25,2007 was when my mother passed and 4 weeks to the day later my dad passed. Having them both go so close was hard. It will get easier as time goes on. The good lord will take good care of them.

Condolences Steven

bill: sorry to read about your loss, even though we don"t know each other, it just the sadness of hearing about it. now since some a$$-o posted their rudeness, i hope it doesn"t ruin your day. it will be hopefully a cold in hell before someone will reply to his posting, and with any luck, he will be splattered over YT about this and maybe 86 him from there sited. since butt head doen"t realize these forms are to talk about different topic once in a while.

Sorry for you loss Bill. You have my prayers.

My mother was born on a farm south of T MO. in 1921. Grandpa was a Rector, Grandma was a Willhite.
Used to be lots of them down there. Willhites were from Owensville. Grandpa was born near Oakhill.

Bill,
I'm saddened to hear of your loss, you have my prayers. Mom and Dad both moved on 11 years ago on March 23. Some would have you believe that you will "get over it", in many respects you will, but the memories and some remorse always remain. A 'real man' will recognize this and cherish the memories and turn the remorse over to the Big Guy. Don't listen to the wiseguys that can only seem to post contempt and bitterness while hiding behind a false moniker, they obviously did not have the same good up bringing that we've had and because they cannot "man up" to that fact, they are filled with contempt and bitterness.
You'll move forward and prosper. Always remember the lessons your Dad taught you and don't damn him for the one's that were wrong. You'll do fine thru this process of healing and it sounds like you have a good woman backing you. Take care.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Was at the funeral home in Owensville last thursday myself for a neighbor lady and came home to a phone message that another friend of mine died thursday. A lot to take in and think about.

GeneMO · Mar 20, 2011

(quoted from post at 16:33:18 03/20/11) I was encouraged to see that the poof monster got rid of your previous reply to this post, without poofing the whole post. Didn't know they could do that. Hope they do it again. You're pretty darn pathetic.

Yeah, the poof monster also removed my post stating what I thought of the heartless fool.

Bill, you have my sympathy.
