Sorry to hear about the loss of Billy. I was researching records online this evening, and found that he had passed almost a year ago. I have been trying to find family for years now. I am Marjorie Sullivan Windbiel's daughter, Mickie. James Sullivan, was my grandfather. I remember visiting Uncle Will and Aunt Lorraine and other family when I was a kid. Can someone please contact me? This is an awful way to reach out--but if someone does read this before 7-12, when it no longer will remain online--I would like to make contact. So very sorry for his loss. He was only around 2 yrs older than me. [email protected]

Dear Betty & Girls, I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Bill and he was such a wonderful man. I remember how he wanted the black eyed Susans from my yard to plant in yours. He knew you would like them. He always talked of his family. My prayers and sympathy are with you all. God be with you.
