Thoughts

Aunty Carol and Debbie. I'm so sorry for your loss. My uncle Billy was a wonderful man who will be a huge miss. I will never ever forget what you all did for me and our Lynne when we were younger. Goodnight and rest easy Uncle Billy. With all your sisters and brother now.xxxx

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Billy. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
