He is the man who spotted that gorgeous vintage Singer sewing machine on the side of the road and thought I would like it, so he hauled it up onto his work truck and took it back to Ray at the depot.

We talked on the phone quite often when he would call to speak to Ray. He always said my name in a very special way, like three separate words, (Miss) Marg are ret and he always asked after me, every day.

I will miss him and I know my darling Ray is hurting very much over this terrible loss.

Oh how I hate cancer!!!!

I hear the "C" word so much now a days. The lost of a loved one is a hurtful thing. All one can do is ask the Lord to give us strength to go on as best as we can. I pray that everyone is held up on every leaning side. To hold onto his memories will bring JOY when you want to cry.

Dear Meganne,

Such sad news!
I am sending thoughts of comfort to you and Ray at this time.

Thirty years of friendship is a wonderful legacy for Billy to leave you and I hope in the days ahead you and Ray will find both the strength to honour and accept his passing, knowing that the memory of this very special man will always have a place in your hearts.

Much love to you both,
Alma.

I know how you feel Meganne. My Mom was taken by cancer in just a matter of 15 days at the age of 69. What a brutal disease! Prayers for you and Ray that your sadness heals soon.

Thank you all so much for your kind words, Ray sends his thanks also. It has been a sad time for all Billy's friends and even worse for his wife and children. He was only 58, far too young to die.
He had recently renewed his Passport to take his wife home to Macedonia for a holiday, but he was taken so quickly.

Have you hugged the ones you love today?

Hugs and blessings to all, Meganne
