I'm truly sorry for the loss of your loved one. My grandfather Homer Lewis grew up with a man named Billy Rowland. He was married to a woman named Betty. I have grown up with many stories of two little boys climbing trees, wandering the woods and living the good life in the 30's. Homer and Billy were "best buds". I'm truly sorry if this comes across as rude in your time of remembrance or grieving, but I have tried every aspect to find a phone number of a relative or anyone who can confirm for my grandfather that this truly was his best friend he grew up with. My grandfather would like to come to the funeral if it is the Billy Rowland from his childhood. My email address is [email protected] or you may call 9136316310 and ask for Homer Lewis. Thank you very much, and again I apologize if this is any inconvenience to anyone.
