We first met Billy when we attended Cornerstone Baptist Church. I served as a deacon there with him. Billy was a pleasant person and I appreciated his wisdom and discernment, especially in the tough times. He had a lot of faith in the Lord and loved to serve others. He will be greatly missed but I know I will see him again! May God bless and comfort you Beverly and all the family in the days ahead.
