I am very sorry to hear about Billy's passing. I first became acquainted with him when he was in business with Randy Wright on Hwy 49.

Jane,
You may or may not remember me. I was pastor of Shady Grove Baptist Chruch in the late eighties and was the pastor that performed Homer's homegong service. I got to know you all during his illness and death, particularly Billy. I sure am sad to hear of his passing. We had many good discussions about heaven. I pray that the Lord will show Himself strong in your sorrow, and I pray that you will continue to focus on the promise of "better things" for those who trust Him (Heb 6)....

Dear Miss Jane, Richard, Michelle, Chris, Kyle and rest of the family,
We were driving by the market today around 1 p.m and I noticed the bows on the doors and Mary Evelyn and I turned around and drove through your parking lot not knowing who they were for and finally we looked up and saw the big sign about Mr. Billy. We were so saddened for your family. We will miss him and know you will also. Keep the faith and remember God is the Center point of life and decision making.
In...
