Victor "Billy" William Rilling

My dearest son, the anniversary of your death brings me anguish. I wish I would have gone first and saved us both so much pain. I love your memory as I loved you. I am still amazed by your accomplishments. No one knows better than me little imperfections we shared-and no one knows better than me what an awesome force you were in the world. Wish with all my heart that you were still in it. Just so you know, your example gave me the courage to do today one of the most difficult things I have ever done. Thank you.
