We love you so much Uncle Billy. Your forever in our hearts.
Bill regularly brought a truckload of meals to Sherwood for the Meals on Wheels program, where he met up with the deliverers and helped load the meals in their cars. He was a generous man who will be missed.
Prayers and condolences to the Graham family! May the lord comfort each one in loss of your loved one! The lord had a special plan for Billy May bless you all!! 🙏❤️
