To Ola and Family,
It was with great shock and sadness that I learned of Billy’s sudden death. He and I were part of the Barton High School Class of 1971. There has never been a time in all the years of going to school together and just seeing Billy on my visits “home†, that he did not exemplify the true meaning of kindness, concern and friendship… never failing to ask how I am or about my Mom’s health; always SO caring! My prayers go with all of you.. DeRee… I am so Very sorry my friend!
Most Sincerely,
Cathy Muscalino Harris
