Your Mom and I miss you everyday. It´s hard to believe it´s been 5 years that you left to go home. I hope your suffering is gone and you are with those you held dear to you. Mia and William are doing good and miss their Dad so much. Your Mom and I hold a careful eye over them and we´re re doing what we can to guide them along. Man will be graduating High School soon and moving on in life. Mia is doing well in life also, you would be so proud of them.

Love you
Mr. Mike

Not a year, day, or minute that goes by and you´re not missed. Today is hard for your kids and mom. They miss you. I continue to pray for your peace and heavenly eternal rest. You are gone but not forgotten.

Mr. Mike

Not sure why you had to go so soon, your mom and I miss seeing you pulling in the driveway. You would be so proud of Mia and Lil Billy, they´re all grown up now. Mia is in college and man is about to graduate High School. We love you and miss you. I´ll always keep you in my prayers.
With Love, Mr. Mike

May God wrap His arms around you and give you peace and hope. You will forever be remembered in all of
Our hearts. I pray that each day the pain of your loss is filled with comfort and peace knowing your not suffering. The void will never be filled but ones you leave behind are able to Continue to heal each other through love.

Thinking of happier times. Billy was our original Ninja Turtle complete with nunchucks for at least 3 Halloweens in a row. And how he loved to wrestle and roughneck on the floor with Buddy, Trey & Brandon. A giving spirit - always quick with a hug. Love you always, Aunt Darla

Alice, I'm so sorry to hear about Billy. I only remember him as that energetic little boy when I was with Randy. No more suffering or pain for Billy. He is whole again. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

March 23, 2019

Please kindly accept my heartfelt sympathy, I am so sorry for your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustains you and your family during this difficult time. Isaiah 61:1,2.

To all those who truly knew Billy, he was a sweet and kind-hearted person. He brightened my life the short while he was in it. We had a lot in common and shared a lot of laughs. He was a wonderful friend, dad, and son; even though he was too stubborn to admit it. I will miss my little bro.
