In Tribute to William Poesch, from Ken and Dixie

Continuing the cards and letters sent following my Dad's death, April 7th, 2006:

"In times of sadness such as now, we must believe there's help somehow -- Help to carry on each day and handle what has come our way, Help in love of friends who care and treasured memories that we share, For, in these ways, we come to find an inner peace of heart and mind."

"With the hope that each new day will bring you comfort to carry you through this difficult time."

Dear Sylvia,

So very sorry to hear of Bill's death. He put up a long, hard fought battle with cancer and now his is suffering no longer.

I thought you were so special to send a beautiful card to Ken and me for our wedding. Ken is so dear and we had a beautiful wedding. The weather perfect and we invited only the two families (32). Ken has seven Grandchildren and I have seven, so we decided to keep it just the two families.

Please let me know if I can be of any help in any way.

Hope to see you soon.

Love,
Ken and Dixie

Wednesday, 5/7, GSX ODO 5208
To work and home for lunch, and after dinner, to Wal-Mart for Quixx Paint Scratch Remover.
Notable: Mostly good riding, with a very sloppy ride home/back for lunch... too warm!? The scratches on the 550i bumper (from the garage door) are horrible, but this Quixx stuff seems to work reasonably well.

Monday, 5/5, GSX ODO 5161
To work and back.
Notable: The weather in May rocks! (for now)

In Tribute to William Poesch, from Bob and Pat

Continuing the cards and letters sent following my Dad's death, April 7th, 2006:

"May the love of God give you peace, May the love of friends give you comfort, May the love of our dear one remain in your heart and give you strength through the difficult days ahead."

Sylvia + Family,

We are very sorry for your loss. Bill was a wonderful person, and is now in a better place without suffering.

We are all better for knowing him and you.

In Tribute to William Poesch, from Libby

Continuing the cards and letters sent following my Dad's death, April 7th, 2006:

"May the sympathy and love of others comfort you in your sorrow."

Dear Mrs. Poesch,

You and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers since I saw you at the office last week. I was so very sorry to hear about Bill, and I want you to know that he will be missed by many. Mr. Poesch has always been one of my favorite patients, and I always enjoyed our conversations about gardening. He fought a long, hard battle and he now can let the Lord take care of him.

Please let me know if I can be any help to you as you spend time in California. I'm just around the corner.

Love,
Libby

Sunday, 5/4, GSX ODO 5148
To Best Buy and back
Notable: Chilly in the morning, but crystal clear blue skies and sun all day. Perfect motorcycle weather all day long. Yard work and projects occupied the morning, followed by soccer after noon. But after seeing a 5-star review for GTA4 on G4, we had to make the run to Best Buy -- with a pillion rider.

Saturday, 5/3, GSX ODO 5125
To Reston Town Center for brunch, Fairfax for soccer, and GWU for football.
Notable: A great day to be out! Sunny and warm.
