Guestbook
I have many fond memories of Uncle Billy – mainly visiting him and Aunt Gene in Midland, but also some of fishing trips. He was always a very good fisherman and a wonderful story teller with plenty of jokes mixed in. He was loved and will be missed.
We have fond memories of visiting with Billy & Gene when you were a little boy, Eddie. May your memories bring you comfort at this time.We have fond memories of visiting with Billy & Gene when you were a little boy, Eddie. May your memories bring you comfort at this time.
