Another Best Friend has moved on

After I finished my post on Saturday, I received an email from a gal named Betsy. She was browsing through her brothers computer knowing that he had business and personal relationships online.

I was quite shocked to learn that he was recently hospitalized and the procedures they did to try to save his precious life, didn't work.

I first met Bill Stewart back in 2003 when I was promoting a Pet Vitamin product. We quickly became friends, both being animal lovers, about the same age and born in Detroit. Now I've lived in Colorado since I was 24, but Bill still resided in Harper Woods, MI with his Collie family pictured here.

Bill was a Pet sitter, dog walker, dog and puppy trainer, Koi fish breeder, loved cool cars and gardening. I read that his Hummer was parked out front of the funeral home during visitation hours.

On a personal note, Bill was the only person that I could talk to on the phone and be myself. He was a great listener, didn't judge anything and cared about everyone. He made friends everywhere he went and continued working for his 'pet' clients as long as he could. I know for a fact that he touched a lot of lives during his short life here and will be missed my many.

There's probably a hundred or more stories that I could tell you about his generosity, but this page just isn't long enough. However, I would like you to know that I am writing this note from a laptop that Bill sent to me after he purchased a new one. He knew my old laptop was on it's last legs and didn't see any point in me spending money to buy one when his was working just fine. So he shipped it to me about a year ago and as you can see, he was right. It's still purring like a kitten.

The only online program that Bill was involved in was GBC. I'm in the process now of getting approval from his Sister to take over his account so that I can Donate any future earnings to Tri-County Collie Rescue where I know he was an avid supporter and loved.

So Thank You William for being such a good friend all these years, and I'm crying like a baby while I write this note to you. I will sooo miss our phone conversations... some laughing, some worrying, some bitching and sometimes just to say 'Hi, how are ya?'.

May you Rest in Peace now.
It's so hard to say goodbye.
Love You Lots,
Judy

PS I'll be adding a link soon to the Tri-County Collie Rescue site. They do accept Pay-Pal donations and that's how I plan to send the funds in memory of my BFF, Bill Stewart.
(had to close with a smile. I know he'd like that :)
