William R. McCaw

I always think of Billy on Valentine's Day, and I pray for you, Mary and Bob, as well as the rest of your family. The grief will never disappear until we reach heaven, but the way you navigate your grief is an inspiration.

My thoughts are with the family and friends of Billy. I did not know him personally, but wanted to let you know he is not forgotten. Losing a child should never happen.

Thinking of you as you commemorate Billy's passing. I pray that his legacy will continue to be one of hope, healing, and love. Love always wins.

We never knew him personally, but yet we miss...

Our deepest condolences to the McCaw family. May you find peace.

We did not know Billy, but are friends of Tony and Teri Gosse here in Australia and wanted you to know how sorry we are to learn of the sad loss of your fine son.

To live in the hearts of others is not to die.

God bless you all,

Bob, Mary, Carrie, Kelsey, and Mattie--Our families first connected when Jeff and Billy were in the MEFC nursery together. From those earliest days, I remember Billy's sweet disposition. In the 22 years that followed, every time I saw Billy he had a smile on his face, always kind, polite, goodnatured. Just before we moved to NC, he came over to the house with Jeff. Billy's signature smile spread across his face as he gave me a big hug. I will cherish that moment. I'm so thankful that Billy...
