Dear Billy:
Our last and finally words to you...You will never be forgotten...your beautiful smiling face, your charismatic charm, the way you lit up a room with your personality, your love of life, and your willingness to do anything for anyone! You knew who your friends were and who loved you and cared about you...and that is all that truly matters while we are here on this earth! We will miss your visits, your telephone calls, but most of all... we will just miss you! It is so hard to imagine life without you...we love you! May you rest in peace with your brother and your father...forever in our hearts! Love,

I want to also send my condolences to Bill's girlfriend (I am sorry I don't know your name).

Dear Brennan Family, My heart is broken and sad for all of you with the loss of your Son, Brother and Uncle Billy. A FRIEND to all who knew him. He had a wonderful and playful personality and a huge sense of humor. I've known Billy since he was a little boy camping at McConchie's Family campground where he "lovingly" tormented the daylights out of me! (LOL) I watched him grow from a little boy up into a man. He had a kind heart and was always glad to see you no matter how long it had been in between visits. Billy was my favorite "Ham & Egger" (inside joke) and i will miss his smile and the sound of his laughter. I will always cherish the memories of having known him during. his short time on this earth. God Bless Your Soul Billy!
