Dearest Donna, I am so very sorry to hear of the sudden passing of your beloved Billy. Although I only knew him for a short time, I looked forward to seeing him every week and hung on his every word of wisdom. Billy was a simple man; a straight shooter that spoke the truth and didn’t sugar-coat anything. He was loving and kind to all. You could hear in his voice and see in his eyes how much he loved you. You and your family will be in my constant prayers. Hugs and much love, Christine
