The Holmes family and I grew up just blocks apart in Miami, Florida, and we both went to Miami Senior High (The Stingarees). We ran around the neighborhood together, went skin diving in the Keys and Fowlery Rock Light off the Seven Mile Bridge, and now Bill is gone? I also remember Helen when she was very young, and how much Bill loved his sister. If you happen to read this Helen, I'm Sonny Wakefield, and grew up at 3924 SW 2nd St. very close to your home, and remember Bill's 1953 Ford in high school, and the new Ford convertable he bought after we graduated. I'm in San Diego now, and I just now looked up your brother, and I'm so sorry to find he's gone.

Dearest Bill:

Although I did not have the honor of meeting you, your little sister Helen placed you high on a pedestal. Your special sister gave you the ultimate gift of care and love during your final days, to which you so dearly deserved. To my hero, thank you for serving our country and granting us the privilege of your kindness and laughter. To Helen, I relay to you a quote from our Holy Bible: Be strong and of a good courage fear not nor be afraid; for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee, he will not fail thee nor forsake thee. God Bless.##imported-begin##Elizabeth: On Behalf of Mandy & Lucy##imported-end##

Dear Helen,
Though we did not know Bill, we knew a lot about him from Betty. Just remember that you were there for him when he needed you and that is all we can do for those we love. You remain in our thoughts and prayers.
With love,

I love you, Billy Joe! I will miss you and all your funny jokes! You were one of a kind, by far my favorite patient! I opened my cabinet and a bottle of baby sunscreen fell on my head Sunday and I knew it was you! Everytime I see the lion you gave me, I will miss you more! Wish we could have had more time together. I will take take care of your wonderful sister. See you again someday! Save all the jokes for me!##imported-begin##Janis Parham##imported-end##
