I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Billy’s passing. I can remember the first time I met him almost 10 years ago. It seems like yesterday. It was when he and Pastor Billy Webb interviewed me for the secretary position at the church. I will continue to keep the family in my prayers. All my love. Glenda

So Sorry for your loss, but Billy & Butch are catching up on all news after they’ve gotten together in Heaven!!! We enjoyed being on some trips with you all several times. I’ll be sure to tell Scottie of his passing when I talk with him. Sorry I can’t visit with You. I’m leaving with Family to go be with our G-Daughter at Liberty University this weekend for her B-Day. Prayers will be sent for the Lord to wrap his loving arms around You & all the Family during this time. I’ll try to get in touch when I get back !!!

He always treated me as family during the many times I spent time with Debbie. Will always remember digging potatoes on his daddy’s farm! My mother and daddy (God rest their souls), thought a great deal of him. I’m sure they are talking over old times and celebrating with Jesus. May God continue to give you strength and comfort in the days ahead, Love, Sherry and Danny
