So dear Classmates,
We post another passing of one of our own. Everytime, now, it seems that when I open my yearbook and look at a page, there is someone, either a teacher or a classmate that has passed on. Very sobering. But as someone said to me recently, life is forward moving, so just keep trying to make a positive difference. Such wise advice to incorporate in one's life.
May Billy rest in eternal peace. Comfort and prayers for the family and friends.
