Condolences

Condolence From: Susan Stagl Edrich
Condolence: Bill, Dianne, Cousins, Children, Granchildren, Friends, Neighbors... I was shocked to hear of Bill's passing. I'm not sure how I did not know how ill he was... But when one cousin first told me, I responded, Dianne's Husband, that Bill?!! I first met Bill at his wedding... I can't remember if I was 11 or 13, but somewhere around there... He was genuinely kind, polite, and actually took an interest saying hello, trying to engage me in a little introductory conversation... at this beautiful garden wedding, with seemingly hundreds of people in attendance... And I... was essentially a nobody, a young cousin whom he'd never met... someone, whom I fully expected him to skip right over, certainly during the inital first round of greeting guests... I was alone with my parents that day as my older siblings (whom he might have already met/known?) were most likely away at college or working?? But no... this did not happen... He treated me from Day 1, like I was a full fledged somebody... I was just as important as the other guests... I liked him and admired him, from that day forward... And was really happy for Dianne that she was marrying a truly good guy and person. And then the years floated by... And I'm sure I saw him once or twice... then low and behold, I got married and saw him again... Still the same... Happy, friendly, and really nice... And I vaguely remember the tragedy that struck their family... I was kept sheltered from most of it, as I had lost a brother, in recent years... I remember my parents were filled with grief over it... once again... The years floated by... many years, this time. I moved to CA... And then... Facebook was born... I came to know Bill, Dianne, and family again, and maybe really for the first time... And Bill was the mainline to the family... And Bill became one of the closest cousins, I have ever had... I am truly sorry that when I was back East this past year, March/April, traveling from Florida to North Carolina by car... and drove right through the state of Georgia... that I did not take the time to go visit... Yes, I was in a hurry... to get my real estate/community search exploration completed... (retirement planning) and get to my Dad's in Asheville... But this was a life's lesson... to take time for what is truly important... I didn't know/realize how sick my Aunt Winne was either... Bill was a good man, good friend, relative, husband, parent, grandparent, cousin, etc... He is truly missed... There is an empty space... where his posts would have been... I still look for them.... Love and Hugs to the whole Family. xxxxx, ooooo Susan

Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss. We have a sure hope of seeing our love ones again, because Jesus said at John 5:28,29 Do not be amazed at this for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. May your family be comforted by this assurance.
