Visited his gravesite today while wandering through the cemetary near my house. I sat down at the bench next to his gravesite because I felt drawn to the tombstone. I've been needing someone to talk to, and for some reason, this seemed like the right moment, so in that moment I sat down and started talking. I got the impression he was very kind. I really needed it, as odd as this may sound to some. I was grateful for his time, even if it was symbolically. Rest in peace...and thank you.

Whenever I saw Billy, he always had a smile on his face. In a way, he reminded me of Uncle Ted, in his sweet, gentle way. My thoughts and prayers are with my dear cousins.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Billy was truly loving and could be counted on to notice just that one thing that was a total surprise to the listener. I bet your Mom and Dad are having a party!
Love to you all, Terry
