Cherish Life

Today, it does not matter in the least whether Rex Grossman is capable of leading the Bears to the Superbowl.

Today, it does not matter at all if the Cubs overspent for free agents.

Today, it does not matter that Indiana beat Southern Illinois.

It is with shock and sadness that I advise the RT community that Ring of Honor charter member Bill Zarling (WrigleyBill) has passed away due to complications from cystic fibrosis. I am proud to have known Bill and will always consider him a good friend.

Please say a prayer for Bill's wife Lori and his entire family.

Please express my sincere condolences to Lori on Bill's passing. Hopefully it will help ease her grieving to know how frequently WrigleyBill coaxed a laugh from his RT cohorts. I'll miss his sense of humor.

Though I only know him from the RT, my wishes and prayers go out to his family. And thanks to the RT for introducing me to someone I never would have met otherwise. Let the W flag fly at half mast today.

Dan, there is something I wrote for a friend a while back who had lost a friend. It was too long to recreate here, but check it out on my myspace blog, its the only post there and you can find my page at http://www.myspace.com/pauley2112
It helped my friend once, maybe it can again.

I know I don't usually post any comments, and I won't be as creative or funny as wrigleybill. But I wanted to thank everyone for their kind thoughts at this time. Bill loved trying to craft his clever RT comments - hoping that he might get the biggest laugh from Dan and all of the RT readers. I'm so glad that he became part of this group that gave him that little piece of excitement and laughter each day. Keep it up so all of you can continue to laugh with each other.
