Dear Dottie, Tim and Anne,
I was so sorry to hear about Billy. He was a terrific guy - I remember he always had a funny story or comment - told in his quiet matter-of-fact manner. Our loss is surely heaven's gain. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time.

Dear Dottie, Tim, and Anne,
Many years have passed since I last saw my cousin Billy. I hardly recognized his picture. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My brother and I spent many happy hours playing with Billy when we were all small. He was a wonderful boy-and I bet he was a wonderful husband and father, too.
Please know I am thinking of all of you during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Kit Lauder Kilroy (first cousin. Billy's dad was my mother's brother)

Dear Dottie and Tim,
I have never met you but my family grew up on Davis Street across from the McVaughs. Our parents were friends and Bill and Jean were wonderful people. I will remember Billy as a fun-loving boy playing basketball in his backyard with the neighborhood kids. He so gracefully overcame the challenges that he faced when he was so very young. My heart goes out to both of you with this terrible loss.
And to you Anne... my thoughts and prayers are with you...

I have not seen or spoke to Bill since high school or shortly after. Although he has been the subject and laughter of many stories over the years. I will always remember his keen wit and sense of humor. I am smileing now just thinking of him. I hope you too can find a smile or two in this time of sorrow. May he rest in peace ! I will keep him and his family in my prayers. God Bless

Dear Dottie, Tim, Anne & family:
Words can not express my sorrow at this time. Billy was a great guy. From our running around the back yards on Murray and Davis Streets, our Sunday night dinners at Little Venice after the CYO games, our great times at Oquaga Lake, to my visit with Billly last year - he will be missed. I know that he is in heaven with his parents and my father discussing how St. Bonaventure will do this winter in basketball!
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

God Bless you.
