I hope the following scriptures will give you comfort for your loss. Psalm 68:20 states; “The [true] God is for us a God of saving acts; And to Jehovah the Sovereign Lord belong the ways out from death.” At Isaiah 25:8 “He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces.” And Psalm 37:29, states “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever Upon it.” Those scriptures gives us comfort in knowing that we will see our loved ones again. With Sincere Sympathy, Doreen

Dear Amy and Children, My condolences to you and Billy's extended family. He will forever be in my heart and memories. Billy Paul had given more to enjoying his life, family and friends than most of us are willing to embrace. I will always have his handsome smile to reflect on and hear his whole hearted laughter to recall. May God be with your family during your time of grieving and healing. Fondly, Janita Stavroplus

I am so sorry for your terrible loss. I have many fond memories of Billy Paul-always laughing and smiling and making others do the same. I pray for God's comfort and strength for you in the coming days, months, and years. Rejoice as you think of him in Heaven and cherish the many wonderful memories I know you have.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the family, Billy was one of my favorite people. I use to be his school nurse at Jasper.

Billy Joe, Janice & Amy & children--our thoughts and prayers are with you in the loss of someone you loved so dearly. Just know that your loss is heaven's gain and someday you will meet again. Hester Brisco is my mother and we grew up at Marble Falls. AR.

To the Kolb family, we want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. There is no doubt that Billy is in Heaven and, though the seperation from him is hard, we will see him again (John 11:25&26).We pray that remembering that, and looking forward to that day, brings comfort. Amy, we pray that God will fill and surround you and the children with His peace, comfort, and strength (John 15:16-18, 27). Though we don't always understand why God allows some things to happen, remember that Jesus understands and feels your hurt(Matthew 26:39). Lean on Him and know others are holding you up in prayer.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones. I have fond memories of us kids playing with Billy Paul. Our family will continue to pray for you all.

Amy, The Lord never puts on us more than we can bear. So I know he will comfort you during this difficult time. I can remember when you and Bill first started dating how he would constantly say how beautiful you were. His smile will be shining in Heaven forever. Know I love you Amy as the sister you have always been in my heart.
