Uncle Billy it is so sad to have to read in the paper that you have passed away. Our family was never close and some of us were considered the black sheeps of the family. But you always kept in touch with me. And always made me and my two kids feel special. I know Grandma and Grandpa were waithing with open arms for you.
You will be missed.
Love You and Rest In Peace
Your Niece
