Billy,

Lisa and I send our deepest sympathies to you and your family. Ginny was the voice of the Reid family for all of the years we traveled together. I'll never forget the many times that you said,"Hold on, I need to ask Ginny first." You were one lucky man. From the second luckiest guy on earth....take care and we'll be in touch.

Billy words are not going to make you or the girls feel better. I can relate to feeling sorrow because it was almost a year to the day my mom passed away. The difference is I don't know how I would feel if I lost my wife, mother of my children and my best friend (Jean). You have now gone through this sad time along with your girls. May God Bless and keep you all. Remember the the great times and that she is watching over you and her special girls.

Billy and the girls, I am so sorry for your loss. Having ridden next to Bill for years I feel that I know the entire family and how wonderful you all are. Every day I miss working with Bill because of the incredible person that he is and I know that Ginny had a great deal to do with that. Her amazing influence will be missed. God bless her and all of you. Much love Adam Williams

Billy,
So sorry to hear of your wife Ginny's passing. I know that words are of little comfort when you lose someone you love and share your life with. She is still with you and she will live on in the memories you have and the stories you share with others.
You, Ginny and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I can't tell you how sorry I was to hear the news on the loss of your wife Ginny.
I could see the pain in your eyes over the past several weeks and I feel for you
Your such a great guy with loyalty as your key strength. I am sure it was hard to say goodby to her.
You do so much for me, please let me know if there is anything I can do for you during this difficult period.
Much sympathy,

Billy,

I am very sorry about Ginny's passing and the sorrow that you and the girls are experiencing. I know that she was a great Mother and great Wife. She leaves a wonderful legacy as evidenced by her family which I know she was very proud of. Be comforted by the fact that she is watching from heaven and you are not alone.

Billy, on a personal note, you were always there to comfort me during my losses. In 1996 when my beloved greyhound Bolo passed away, you helped me with you comments. Last year, when my father passed away, you helped me as well. You spoke up and it meant a lot to me.

As your friend, if I can help you during these difficult days, please let me know. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You have always been there for others, now it our turn to reciprocate. God Bless!

Billy & "The Girls": Talking with Ginny on the phone I feel like I got to know her. I wish I had met her the stories we could have discussed about you Bill, Like you not wearing your hearing aid and it just sitting on the bureau. Since losing my Mom one year ago (Aug. 21) I can understand your sorrow. Just know she loved you all, and will be watching over all of you. Again I wish to express my deepest sympathies.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I remember your mom fondly from when I worked at My Cleaners on Bedford Street. She always had a funny story and was so proud of her girls. She reminded me of my own Mom. May happy memories replace the sorrow in your heart.

Bill - (Billy)

I am saddended by the passing of your beloved wife of whom you always talked about so lovingly about over the years.

I can to this day remember you saying, "Ginny and the girls" are doing this or going here, etc.

You are a great and caring man and we all, at Martignetti, missed you from the first day you left. But you have watched over our crowd in many ways over the years, for which I will be eternally grateful to you.

Please accept my condolences and let me know if there is ANYTHING that I can do.

Thinking of you and the girls in your time of sorrow,

Dean
