I only just heard about your dad's passing. Robyn and William take comfort in the fact that your dad was a good man he did the job God gave him to do. He loved you and your mom very much. I pray that God's angels have lead your dad to a place of refreshment, light and peace. And that God's perpetual light if always shinning on him.

So sorry to hear of Billy's passing. We were very close as children, cousins born only 4 days apart. I remember so many fun times too numerous to mention. Robyn and William, please accept my condolences. Find comfort in knowing your Dad is finally at peace.
