Mary, Dana and Keith:

I am saddened to hear of Billy's passing. He was always so nice to me when I spent my college summers working at Kagan-Dixon where my mother also worked. And he was quite funny as I recall!

I hope you'll take comfort in your thoughts and memories of Billy and that one day you will see him again. My prayers are with your family.

My memories go back to a very young age when I visited Anita in the Jones home. Over the years I have l loved seeing Billy around town --- always a joy to visit with him. I pray for comfort for the family.
