Dear Kathy and Ed, Words cannot express the sorrow you must feel, Billy has been your life for along time, he was such an awesome person. He taught me something every time I was there. I will miss "my buddy" so much. that was the last thing he said to me "luv ya buddy" for a moment it was like the old Billy. That will be a moment I will always treasure. Thank You for allowing me to be part of your lives as a Nurse and a friend. God Bless you and give you peace knowing he is in Heaven running around with Eddy. Love Ya Buddies
