I truly appreciate this post. I’ve been looking everywhere for this! Thank God I found it on Bing. You’ve made my day! Thanks again…
I was sorry to hear of Billy’s passing. Although it’s been many years since I’ve seen him I remember how funny he was and how he guided his younger sisters thru their young years. Spent many summers with my cousins on the farm.
