To Sherman and Billy's family members, I am so sorry to hear about Billy. Billy was a long time friend of my father (David Salmon) and myself. Billy kept Dad and I laughing all the time. Those memories will never be forgotten. Such a thoughtful, loving, and caring friend always. He will be missed greatly. Billy put others before himself. He always wanted to lend a helping hand. Billy and Linda will always hold a special place in my heart for their kindness and love. I wish I could have been there. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. I know Billy is with Linda, my Father, and his Father in Heaven with no suffering or pain. May God be with you all in this time of sorrow. WITH MUCH LOVE

Diane and family you have my sympathy and prayers. Is your soul restless because of your grief? There is a wonderful source of rest available in Matthew 11:28 to 30, the words of Jesus: "Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Do you long for peace of heart and mind? The Apostle says, in Philippians 4:7, "The peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." And Jesus said, in John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." And how can this peace be attained? We read in Isaiah 26:3, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee."

Mike, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your Dad. I got to know him quite well when Dwayne and I used to attend the Renegades games a bit back. He was always such a kind and gentle man.
