Billy and family, I am so sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. I know he fought as hard as he could for as long as he could. He was a blessed man to have a life full of love and to have you all by his side. I know you will miss his presence but take heart that he will always be with you. Nobody can ever take that kind of love away from you. – Lisa Harrell
