To Jean and her amazing family. My favorite quote which speaks volumes to what you have shown Billy for years...pure courage and love. "Courage is not a man with a gun in his hand. It's knowing you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what." - spoken by Atticus Finch, by Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
Hang in Jean we love you. Cappy
