Billy's 26th!

Hope you can join us to celebrate Billy's (April 20th) birthday a few days early - Saturday, April 17th. We'll be happy to see any of you who can, but we understand that you're all over the world, doing great things. (Be sure to have a crazy adventure for him!) If you're not here for the party, stop by another time.

PARTY: Come at 4 PM or so. Dinner will be around 6 and we'll be hanging out into the evening. Party will be in the barn....with upstairs loft for anyone who'd like to stay. The cabin is also available, of course. Please try to let us know you're coming, so we can have plenty of good food! Also, please forward this to anyone we may have missed. If you're not here with us, raise a glass to our Billy, wherever you are!

With love to all of you from all the Palinski crew, Chris

You're Invited to Celebrate Billy's 25th!

Another April approaches..... our 5th birthday celebration for Billy. We're planning the party for Saturday, April 18th, just a few days before his birthday. This would be his 25th!

 

It's been an exciting year for us: John spent it with the Obama campaign - what a great outcome.... YES WE DID.....Billy would have been all over that campaign! More wonderful outcomes: Kathleen and Ned were married here at Billy's Cabin on June 28th. It was a great and beautiful day (despite the rain). Just a month later, Suze and Tom became parents! Billy's nephew, Samuel William Renaud, was born 7/27/08. Sammy will be here to greet you all and entertain and amaze us. Take a look at these photos of his first eight months!

 

 

Please try to let us know if you're coming, so we can plan food.....also, help by forwarding this to anyone we may have missed. Many of you have new email addresses, so please send me your updates. Bring sleeping bags, if you're staying.

 

If you're not here with us, raise a glass to our Billy on 4/20/09....wherever you are!

Lots of love to all of you from all the Palinski crew.

You're Invited to Celebrate Billy's 24th!

Another April approaches.....hard to believe that this is the 4th birthday we'll celebrate this way. We are planning Billy's Birthday Party for Saturday, April 19th, actually the day before his birthday. All you wonderful friends are invited, and we will be so happy to see any/all who can make it. No pressure - we will always celebrate his birthday, and if you can't make it this year, we'll see you next time.

 

Come in daytime, and plan to stay the night if that works for you. "Billy's Place", the cabin where some of you slept last year, is looking even better! Hopefully, the snow will melt and the daffodils
will be up. Like last year, we'll have the party in the barn.... with a large loft/upstairs for sleeping.

For our family, it's an opportunity to catch up with some of the great people from Billy's life, and we want it to be a happy reunion for you, as well.

 

Please try to let us know if you're coming, so we can plan food.....also, please help by forwarding this to anyone we may have missed.....and also, send addresses to me so I can correct the list.
Bring sleeping bags, if you can.If you're not here with us, raise a glass to our Billy on
4/20/08....wherever you are!

 

Lots of love to all of you from all the Palinski crew

Continuing Billy's Connections

Since April 24th, 2004, along with the pain and devastation of Billy's death has come something else. It's been the most amazing shower of love and blessings on our family from so many people who knew and loved Billy. Letters, music, stories, gifts and new friends continue to arrive here. Some of you we already knew, and some we only knew about. It has been a privilege for us to build relationships with many of you, as we learned more about our boy. Our hope is that this website may continue the process. Billy connected people....and we'd like to continue to do that through his website.

 

Forever Young - Bob Dylan

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
