So sorry to hear of my Uncle Billy's passing. When I was a kid I called him "uncle B". He was so special to me! I called him a couple of times in the past few months and knew he was struggling. I pray our Lord's blessing on each of you and your families. May HE provide you with strength and comfort today and the days to come. Sonny & Iris Bratz
