Bill and Patty,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Billy. Bill I worked for you many years ago at Business Equipment and Systems. I remember you saying one summer that Billy spent his summer days trying to unlock the code on the satelite tv to watch the channels that he wasn't supposed to.
Just know that you all are in my prayers.

Hello Mr & Mrs Ennis, my heart is so broken to hear of Billy. I worked with him at Burlington. I adopt all the young people and give them a little advice on life. I would alway praise him on how well he dress to be a young man. He made a certain sould when he walked and I alway knew it was him. Beford I turned around, I would say that my Billy and he would smile and say Hi Ms Connie. God Bless, I know I will see him again. Love you.

I was very sorry to hear of Billy's passing. He and I went to PH together years ago and I ran into him last summer. He was definitely the classmate that kept us all laughing. My condolences to his family.
