Sleep with the Angels sweet #12
Time it was, oh what a time it was
A time of innocence
A time of confidences

May each day bring a little more peace into the hearts of your family.

I worked with Billie (Birdleggs) as a millwright for many years. He was a good and close friend. I will remember all the good times we had at work and after. My condolences to his family. Tommy Ward
