Not sure what to say?

I was go glad I got to see Billy!! Sorry that I wasn't able to be with you to say good bye but my thoughts and prayers are with you! I always loved the way Billy would say my name!! With love and God's blessing, Cheryl Cunningham LaSpada

Billy never forgot anything we did as children. When I came home to visit in later life, his was always the first call to greet me. " Hey cuz, when we going to get together?", or "Hey cuz, guess what?".
Forest Gump will always be a favorite movie for me. If I happen onto it on TV I always wind up watching it. The reason I do is for the message of unconditional love it portrays so beautifully. I expect Billy is the reasson I love that story so much. Billy was to each of us that...

I worked with Billy in the early 1990's as his job coach and I have always remembered what a wonderful experiences working with him was. Doris and William Sr. were always welcoming into their home and a blessing to Billy's life

They were waiting for you, now you wait for us. Until then our hearts may break, but out memories will carry us through. Thank you for your special light. I will always love you. Rest in peace, gentle soul. Rest in peace, dear Billy.

Love You Billy!

Billy, I will always remember your devotion to the Audubon Park Fire Company and how happy you were to belong. I will miss you very much.

I will miss you so much Uncle Billy. You were the best uncle ever and you always made me smile. I love you so much and I know you are watching down on us from heaven.
Love, Therese

Rosemary, Patrick, Roseann, and John Healey would like to express our deepest sympathy to the family and to assure the family that we will be there to help them in their time of need. Our prayers go out to you and your family at this time.
