Hey Billy, it's Crystal. I loved hangin out with you cause no matter what mood you were in you made me laugh. I remember working on you and Mellissa and am glad that I continued to for awhile. Thanks for letting me hang upside down on your back thingy majig because you just killed my back working on you! :) ha ha. I love you and you will always be in my heart and my memories. And Louise, thank you for bringing Billy into my life and into many others :) I love you Billy.

I was holding Bill's arm and hand when he left us. I can still feel the love from that man. It's one of the most powerful gifts I've been allowed to experience.
He LOVED singing with me and actually had a good voice. I'm glad I could play my autoharp and sing him on over to the other side. He was there for me when I needed him and has been chasing me ever since. :)

A group of us went to Puerto Vallarta on Billy's honeymoon. Louise, Billy, Melissa, Kent Grove, Cody, Carol and I. We didn't see much of Billy and...

I took in a small photo to the printer this afternoon that Billy's sister sent me, he is about 8 yrs old holding up a small fish he caught at the lake.
After enlarging the photo and viewing it more clearly I burst into laughter in the lobby, there's Wild Bill with the fly of his pants wide open, what were you doing brother Bill, fly fishin'? How appropriate...Bill would have really gotten a great laugh. I love you Billy, my best friend forever..You've always been there for me..I am missing...
