Carol, Billy was a friend since kindergarten. We were friends throughout our school years through high school. He and I keep in touch over the past 4-5 years via e-mail and I will miss communicating with him. The best way to describ Billy was that he was one of the really good guys. My prayers are with you and Liam and best of luck.
