Such sadness in the loss of my sweet older cousin! Such fun summers together at China Flat and our Dad's "hill climbing" around Antioch. We had so much fun riding motorcycles, fishing, and hanging out by the campfires. The last time I saw Billy was at my Dad's funeral. I remember the big bear hug and kind words. My prayers, thoughts, and love are with all of you at this difficult and sad time.
