My deepest sympathy to Billy's family, so sorry for your loss. I remember Billy from years ago when he lived next door on Forbes St in Amsterdam. We were very little & had fun playing together, digging for worms and chewing on the stems of vine leaves we called "sour." I felt awful when I got him into trouble with his mother for pouring water into his sandbox. My birthday was the day after his. He liked that his birthday was first! This little girl was sad when he moved away. May he be rejoicing with Jesus now.
