Great work John, Sorry my reply is late - but BA knows of my deep appreciation for his contribution here.

-D

John - if you do end up sending a letter to the funeral home asking them to forward to the family, I might suggest that you leave an email address or some other means to contact you (phone number if you don't feel worried about it), so that someone in the family might contact you to let you know that they have recieved the letter and respond.

I broke my own rules and added the last names.. I have now printed out the entire letter and will send to the funeral in care of.

I also will call them before I send it.

I will create a new thread when I hear back if I hear back. I did provide myself as the contact person plus it has the forum address. 

Nice one John, and thanks for organising this.

Thanks so much for doing this John. It is a testament to Billy as well as to you, and in a way this whole forum.

Regards,

Thanks for all your time and attention to this, John. It really means a lot to all of us to be able to (hopefully!) reach out to the family with some meaningful words of sympathy, and your efforts have been essential in that regard.

John,
Thanks again for putting in all the time and effort on our behalf. Billy was such an important part of these forums and I know his family and loved ones will take comfort in knowing just how much he meant to us all.  You are a good person for doing this and it helps us all deal with the loss.


I don't post too much (usually dumb-ass questions I should already know the answer to!) but I've learned so much from folks like you, CJ, Bitflipper, Project M, etc. Billy helped me on many occasions and I know I'll miss his level-headed advice.  

All is under control and the last bit has been done. I called the funeral home and without me having to ask they said they would forward the letter to the family. The letter has been sent.

So consider this complete.

fantastic!  thank you John.

The only thing that was worrisome to me was being able to get the letter to the family.  Now that is no longer a worry. I feel relieved.

Thank you all.
