William "Bill" Lloyd Ponting

I am free from the pain that I have suffered from for many years. My sight is back and I can see every fine detail from a raindrop on a flower to a ladybug crawling through a clover patch. My breathing is no longer restricted, and it feels good to take a breath without trouble.

No more need for puffers, no more need for pain medication, and no more worrying about crashing or tripping on things because I can’t see.

Michelle Ponting, whom I loved so much, I don’t need to feel like a burden to her anymore. When I was alive, I felt hurt that I could not show her how much I loved her. It made me feel at peace to have her, my daughter, and friends by my side.

Before I got bad, I reached out to my wife to give her a hug. I know she will be ok and strong, just as I taught her to be.

I love my daughter Annette Berger, my son Adam Ponting, my brother Robert Ponting and many relatives very much too. Despite us being far away from each other I was able to show them I loved them.

My brother Ralph passed away before I could say goodbye. However, I knew that in my heart I wasn’t supposed to be there. I am in heaven with him now with my family and friends who have passed on.

I love you all,

-Bill Ponting
