Dearest Nettie Ann and Farris family,
I am so saddened to learn of Billy’s passing. He was a big part of my childhood memories and his big smile and tender spirit blessed me. Billy was consistently loving, kind, and respectful each time I was fortunate to to be in his presence.
I hold you forever in my heart and am praying for God’s grace to carry you through the days ahead.
Forever grateful,
Gwen
