My deepest sympathy to the family. I know that this is a difficult time for you but the Bible offers comfort and hope now and for the future. Rev.21:3,4 Jehovah God say that He will wipe every tear from their eyes and death will be no more. John 11:25,26 Jesus said that he is the resurrection and the life. Pslm.37:11 states that the meek ones will possess the earth. I hope that you find comfort from these scriptures as I have.

Billy was my cousin, named after my Father, his Uncle,I haven't been around him his adult years but all the time as youngsters in Hanna City. He was always a happy go lucky kid and full of mischief . He always tagged along with his Sister and I. We always laughed and laughed at his antics. So sorry for his passing as I know he loved life and he loved those children and grandbabies. Hope everything turns out ok for all you family members. I see you have plenty of support from your "Southern Family" and I know you can count on them! God Bless you all from your Family up North. Love you all, Nancy & Bill
