Terry,
It has been years since I have seen you, but I would run in to Billy once in a while in the stores or at the Drs. office and I would always tell him to say hello for me.
I am very sorry to hear of Billy's passing, and pray God will give you and his family peace and comfort in these days ahead.
Fell free to contact me, we'd have years of things to laugh about and remember, and years of catching up to do.
Again, I am so sorry about your loss.
Love and prayers.
