Dear Lisa,
You may not remember us but our children, Bobby and Melissa, were friends of Billy's. We lost Bobby in 2004, and when we heard about Billy it took us to our knees. We have so many wonderful memories of the kids together! We know what you are going through and if we can help in any way please call us. We pray that the boys are together. Bless you all.
