Sending sincere condolences and prayers of comfort to Billy O's family and friends. Billy was a good man who was always willing to help others, be of service to his country, and community. Though I was from Washington, DC, I was a die hard Yankees fan. This is something we shared. I was blessed to hang out with Billy and his wonderful and devoted wife, Mary Ann. We broke bread and watched football with our group of men friends. Trust God during this time of bereavement. Cherish the memories of Billy. As belivers of Jesus the Christ, we will see him again. Billy's healing was in Heaven with Christ. He is not in pain anymore. May the peace of our Lord be with you. Gos bless.

To my longest best friend Maryann,
Very hard to find the correct words, but realized there are no words that could comfort you, only time and the memories.
Bill brought us joy, made us laugh and showed us love. He gave us lasting gifts of his life forever. I know we will see Bill again because Jesus is his Lord and Savior.
Love ya,
Janet
