Junior,Silba,Melinda & Family-
Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
My heart was so saddened,and in my mind , I went back to the memories of the four of us,Melinda, Billy, Sheila and myself growing up, and all the laughter and good times that we shared.
We were inseperable.Always together from daylight to dark it seemed!
Those are the memories that we must cling to and cherish, although saying goodbye to the ones we love is never easy.
I would like to encourage you with this.. John 14:18 says I will not leave you comfortless;I will come to you.
My prayer for you each of you is that you may look to God for the strength and comfort that you are going to need in the days ahead.
I love you all, and I am thankful for the time God allowed us to have Billy, and the memories that I have of us four growing up together as the ‘four musketeers’
Love- Gail

To the Brown family … Billy was a wonderful , caring , guy . I will always remember him as doing for others . His smile and sense of humor was one of a kind . He was a good friend to me , as he was us all . May God be with you in your time of need .
I know that we didn’t see each other in the last few years , but that could never change how much I love Billy. My childhood friend , he was so much more than a cousin.I will forever treasure my memories of us all growing up . I love you all and I am always here for you for anything you need.
