Aunt Mary Kay and Uncle Jerry, this is a song that I wrote for Billy.

Child of Strength

In 18 years of life
Your smile never faltered
In 18 years of life
You've made it through your struggles
In 18 years of life
You knew who we were
And you'll forever know us

You are my inspiration
You are America's inspiration
You are our strength, our child of strength

I've always felt happy around you
With friends I've mourned for you
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I will always hold your memory
I've told your story to others
Your sweetness has touched us all
But now you are eternally resting

In the arms of our lost loved ones you're safe
You're not in pain anymore
He called your name, He called you home
You're happy, healthy, and watching us
You are our strength, our child of strength
You are my strength, my child of strength

(spoken)
I'll never forget you
You will never be forgotten
I'm not alone
You are always with me
My child of strength

Trinka family - I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have fond memories of sitting with Billy watching Cassie and Megan's St. Bernadette basketball games. He had quite the personality and was quite the ladies' man, even at that early age. I will never forget him and the joy that he brought to my heart everytime I had the pleasure of his company.
