Dear Billy
I want to thank you for allowing me to part of your life.I am a better person because of you.You always had a smile on your face and you always made me smile.

Respect for the Lord gives life.It is like a fountain that can save people from death.The wicked are ruined by their own evil, but those who do right are protected even in death.
God has blessed you

I will miss you very much.
Love, Lonnie

Rev.Corbin was the first person to introduce me and my family to the Lord Jesus Christ a very long time ago.I can remember Sunday school and the very beginning of me becoming a Christian.Billy brought a lot of people to Christ.I'm sure the angels smiled as they saw Billy walk through heavens door and welcomed him home.God bless the whole family.

Daddad,

I know your up in heaven looking down on all of us with a smile on your face. Proud of each and every one of us and who we have become. We have become those people because of your wisdom and faith. You are truly and ispiration to everyone you've so kindly spoken to. I will say the thing i will miss the most is that infamous laugh of yours. Just a distant memory now but will be in my heart for a lifetime.

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rain fall softly on your fields
And until we meet again, May God hold
you in the hollow of his hand.

~ Irish Prayer that was hanging in the back of your church. I love you and I know that you are being taken care of. This is not goodbye, Just a small farwell until we meet again.

I am Mary Cooke's granddaughter. I was blessed to visit Brother Billy's little church with my grandma. He was an amazing Man of God. He touched my heart by the way he shared his feelings about God. It wasn't just his words that grabbed me, it was the deep emotion coming from his soul. How could you not believe in God after that experience? I know he'll be greeted by all of the sweet souls that he saved during his lifetime. My grandma as well as my dearly departed friends (Dorothy Bapisteller, Florence and Charlotte Barnes) will be a part of that warm welcome. I know you will miss him terribly, but know that he is safe in the arms of Jesus. Keep him forever in your hearts and he'll always be near you. God bless you all. My Heartfelt Sympathy, Beverley Eckert

Dad, I will miss you, thank you for being a wonderful father and always being there for me. I was so glad to be able to share your last moments of life with you as I sat by your side making you laugh and you making me laugh I will cherish those precious memories for ever, I love you.

A Fathers touch, A Daddy's kiss,
A grieving Daughter, You're greatly missed.

An empty house, An empty chair,
A fathers love, No longer there.

A broken heart, Tear filled eye,
Another soul to fill the sky.

Many memories in my mind,
Some I laugh, Some I cry.

The times we shared, The laughs we had,
Things I miss when I think of you Dad.

Realizing that's all I have to hold on too,
Only memories, Of what once was you.

Missing your laugh, I will never again hear.
That is the reality that fills me with so much fear.

No more smile on your face,
No more warmth of your embrace.

The last hug, The last kiss,
The last "goodbye" leaves me with one last wish...

To have you Dad, here today,
Never to leave your Daughter this way.

A Father's touch, A Daddy's kiss,
A grieving Daughter, YOU'RE GREATLY MISSED! I love you Dad
