Uncle Billy was one of my favorite people in the world. He had a wonderful laugh and always made me feel special. My stepfather was Prentis Burden. Growing up with Prentis and his brothers and sister, I always felt part of the Burden family... thanks to Uncle Billy and everyone else. I've always felt that I belonged.
It had been awhile since I had seen Uncle Billy, but I have wonderful memories. He was a great hugger and I remember dancing with him at Cousin Kathy Courtney's daughter's wedding. I have fond memories of he and Aunt Joyce sharing their lives together.
Uncle Billy made a positive and precious difference in this world. I'm blessed to have known him.
May the good Lord give the family peace, strength and love at this sad time. In Jesus' Name, Amen!
