Marion,
Just to let you know we are all thinking of you and your loss of our dear Uncle Billy. Billy was always a special person in our lives and will always be remembered for his warm, kind and gentle sprit.
He was like a brother to my dad and we all shared our stories about growing up on the farm, Hill St., Owls Head, ME and how much Billy loved it all.
We will keep you in our prayers.
Love in Christ,
John & Prudy Colby
