Tributes

Uncle Billy came to my mom Georgia's funeral a couple years ago. Until then I had not seen him since I was maybe 7 or 8? But that day he made me feel like family again. So shocked he's gone. We never know when our time will be. I pray that everyone reading this knows Jesus Christ and we can all be together again in heaven.

We were shocked and saddened to hear about Snoopy! What a guy! Loyal, sharp witted and quick with a laugh! Wasn't afraid of 'nothin'. Billy says, "He was one of the last Wild Bunch that I knew". Prayers for his family. May he rest in Peace.
