Cousin Billy

The last time I saw you was last summer at cookout at your daughters house and you had me laughing with that great sense of humor you always had and remembering good times when we all got together at your Mom's Bronx apartment.

Billy may God take you by your hand and lead you home and to Joe and family may God give you the strength to carry on.
