One of the earliest memories of my dad is when I was about 2 or 3 years old. When he got off work he would take me outside to the empty field behind our house. He would always put me a box kite together! They were all paper back then. Then we would fly it! I always said, daddy, daddy, make me a big one I want to fly in one! I love my daddy so much. Now that he's gone I know this more than in life! I'm sorry daddy, I want you back! Please come back for me. I'm sorry daddy. I'll finish my life like you always wanted me to. I promise. I now know also how very much you love me. It's not too late though daddy. I have a beautiful last chapter of my life to finish the way you hoped I would. You'll be proud of me. Losing you is almost more than I can bear. I need you and will always need you. I just wish I would have saw this before you passed awY. But your efforts weren't in vain daddy. I will make you proud and me a wonderful chapter to end my life with when it's my time to go see you, Kurt, and Cody and all the rest of our family. I love you. I always knew you were a smart man! RIP DADDY, Bill Lee Comeaux, wait for me to join you, my brother, my nephew and ma ma and papa's! God bless all of us daddy. I'll see you soon. Watch over me please. I still needed you. I, of course, always thought you and I would have more time to enjoy each other! Famous last words! God bless us and pray for me. All my love, your only living child, Kim Lee Comeaux Cox. Soar high!

Sorry I cant make the funeral but have fond memories of Bill during our young teen years. We hunted ducks and fish with a vengence and not always according to the rules. A good friend growing up. Last saw Bill in HEB a couple years ago. RIP Bill until we meet again. DANNIE GAUDET
