Lynn & Haley,

We were so sorry to hear of Billy's passing. We first met when Tom and Billy coached the girls soccer team and really enjoyed Billy's enthusiasm and great smile!

I will never forget the day he was sitting on our porch giving Heather and I an education regarding Marshmallow (Heather's bunny at the time) and he never let me forget it!

I ran into Billy often around town or at school and he always made me laugh! I hope it is your wonderful memories...

Lynn & Hayley,

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I've held him in my thoughts often the past few years and I know this is a very difficult time. I'm sure Billy is resting and truly knew how much his family loved him. Sincerely, Dawn Lillie.
