I hope somehow you can see the brilliant color of the red bushes you planted for me. I'll always think of you when they show off their beauty. When you come to me in dreams you are always smiling and seem at peace. I wake up and feel good about that. But I'll never stop missing you

I'm lighting this candle in honor of your father, so his light may always burn bright within you. My prayers are with you all, even after four years. It never gets easier.

Cindy,
I just heard of your brother's passing and needless to say, it came as a complete shock. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I will forever miss my brother and hold so much love in my heart for him. He will live on in my heart and memory for as long as I'm alive. So much can't be expressed in words. There is pain and a lot of sadness, but I believe he is with my dad now, who loved his Billy boy so very much. For every sad thought I try to think of something good or funny - like the way his cheek would twitch when he was losing at Yahtzee or got a draw four card in Uno. Man he hated those!

Dear Maples Daughters,
I am deeply sorry for the loss of your dad. Way to young to leave this life. I love you my dear cousins (Melanie, Jessica and Stacey).
Losing your father at such a young age is so difficult. Remember all the good times you had as girls with him. These memories will stay forever in your heart. I will keep him in my prayers. May he rest in peace.
XO Di
We love you Dad

While we were together we shared many life long memories, but most importantly three beautiful daughters. We are all blessed to have known you and my love and prayers will forever be with your entire family.

It was very upsetting to hear about Billy's passing. We were very close friends in our younger sports years and started our careers together at the City of Blue Island. I have thought about him and the entire Maples family often. My deepest condolences to Mrs. Maples, Cindy and Mickey, as well as Billy's Children.
