Barbara and Ruel, I am so sorry about Billy. Even though he has fought this disease for so long, he never lost his positive outlook. He always had a smile no matter what threw at him. And knowing how much he loved the Lord brings comfort in knowing that he is Well now. You are in my thoughts and prayers .
