Nancy,
Jesus has defeated death but he has not destroyed it yet. He surely will one day. Praying for your heavy heart.
I so wish I could be with the family tommorow! I will always remember Uncle Billy as a sweet, lovable, caring man. I was glad to hear that Mama and Daddy went to the funeral home today to see him. Mama was hesitant to go, saying she would rather remember him as he was whenever he would come by the market. My condolances to the whole family. I will be there with you in spirit! Love, Patsy
Billy, I remember you from Uncle Fred and Aunt Florence Gryder’s prayer meetings when I was just a child. My grandmother, Myrtle Woodby would take me on Saturday night and you were always there. I have never forgotten you. See you there…
Rest in peace, Uncle Billy.
The Lord bless and comfort all who loved him.
