When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
and each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready in heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all my life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, so trusting, and so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you’re free. So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.

To Mrs. Leger and daughters,

May God bless all of your family at this sorrowful time of sadness and grief. I, too, had never met Bill in person but felt like I knew him well from watching him on t.v. for all those years. He was always so kind and professional in his reporting. He was such an easy person to feel we knew and loved. My heart breaks for you and your girls. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers as well as in the prayers of so many others. He was obviously such a good person and a devoted husband and father that you and your children will miss him greatly even as you realize how blessed you were to have had him in your lives. I pray your special memories of Bill will help y'all to cope and heal and realize he will always be watching over you all with love.

Sincerely,
Brenda Webb

I stand corrected on Bill, I had him confused with Dan, so sorry. Bill came to Winnie-Stowell, Tx. to cover the story on St. Louis Catholic Church's Thrift Store aka. "The Vine, & food bank". He also gave us his personal cell number for us to reach him for any story we might need him to cover. He also did a wonderful story on Mike Young, he was an amazing reporter. May he R.I.P. Will be missed. Prayers to both of his families.
