So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
“With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".
Faye, I am so sorry for your loss.

Billy's family, We are sad to learn of Billy's homegoing, not because of where he is going, but because he will be missed as we go to Osceola now and then and not get to see him. He and Donnie were classmates and were graduation members of 1954 at OHS. He and Donnie played football through Donnie's junior year. As young married couples we visited in He and Francis's home. We all enjoyed our young families back then and so did they. They played tennis together during their earlier years and were coffee shop friends in later yearson occasion when Donnie would be in Osceola. I remember meeting Billy at his family home the day after he had returned from their Senior trip. I knew his sister and that was why I was there. I remember the souvenir he had brought back from the trip made of coconuts. Funny how things come to ones mind after one is gone. We will always remember Billy as a friendly pleasant person to see. Donnie has many memories of time spent with Billy, Jimmy Sheldon and Carl Rose. He just mentioned. They had a car and I just tagged along. Then he said, "they are all gone now." To his children, his sister, Terry and his widow we offer our sympathy and good thoughts knowing Billy was a Believer. Don and Christine Shoemake

Paryes for family billy was our friend
I got to know Mr Billy when I started to work at the courthouse. I always enjoyed him coming by the office and seeing if we needed anything. Several times he helped me take our 12 trays of mail to the post office to mail. He never minded, I guess it made him feel useful. I missed him when he wasn't able to come by any more. Prayers for peace & comfort during this time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.May you all find peace and comfort.The Douglass'
