Dear Sydney,

I remember the countless times your dad dropped you off to kindergarten and picked you up when you started school at Bowen. He was always so proud of you!

I'm so sorry and sad to hear about your family's loss. You, your mom and your brother Liam are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm sending you a hug right now ....

With affection,
Mrs. Sheehy, your kindergarten teacher

Bill worked with me, helping men who struggled with addiction. He was well loved and will be remembered for his smile, laughter and generosity. He was patient, compassionate and always eager to help. Bill was professional, and modeled how to be a kind human being. Bill loved his children and often showed pictures of them to his co workers as well as sharing how proud he was of them. The world has truly lost a dear soul. My sincere thoughts and prayers go to the entire family and I am sure you will feel his presence in the days ahead.
