A request was made by this loving man, just a few short days before he went to his eternal mansion: "Please take care of my girls for me! Laura & Savannah are the loves of my life. I just need to know they'll be taken care of". That we will do my dear sweet friend Billy; that we WILL DO! We will celebrate his life, and honor his last wishes, lovingly, Dee Songer
