29 Apr 2003 You are so in our hearts today, as we can never forget you. Your sister, Debbie debrat1@casscomm.com

01 May 2003 So young, as many were, I always looked up to him. He always watched out for his twin sisters, Debbie and Diane, and was loved by all. All the pretty girls liked him too. He has never been forgotten, and never will be. He had the most beautiful smile, the whitest teeth, and a zest for life. I love you, Billy. Diane lan55@casscomm.com
