Dear
Kitty and family, My heart sincerely goes out to you all. To lose a loved one so suddenly is such a shock, as I have myself experienced. My prayers and my thoughts will go with you as you face the days ahead ... you will get through them with God's help and support and that of your friends as well. Billy will be remembered for his great sense of humor - I personally will miss him - it is a loss for us all. |

My Uncle Billy was the most joyous person that I ever met. He was always very good to myself and my family. He used to entertain us with his stories and his journeys down memory lane. He was a very loving and caring man. Our thoughts and prayers are with our Aunt Kitty and cousins Patrick & Tracy. We loved him a lot. We will miss our uncle Billy very very much. |
