Uncle Billy, you were like a second father to me, my number one uncle. I never thought this day would come so soon. Tonya, your father was the best to a lot of us and we loved him so much. I will pray for your strength and that God will ease your pain. We all are with you.

KIM AND FAMILY
Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
