THE BACK OF BILLY'S STONE READS...
YOUR LIFE HAS AFFECTED SO MANY
EVEN THOUGH WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE TIME WITH YOU HERE ON EARTH,
WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR THE TIME WE HAD WITH YOU.
YOUR YEARS HERE WERE SO SHORT, BUT YOU WILL LIVE ON FOREVER
IN THE HEARTS AND MEMORIES OF SO MANY.
YOUR ABILITY TO BE YOURSELF AND ENJOY MAKING THE MOST OUT OF WHAT YOU HAD
MADE US VERY PROUD OF YOU AND HAS BEEN AN INSPIRATION TO SO MANY.
YOU HAD THE LOVE AND RESPECT OF SO MANY PEOPLE OF ALL AGES BECAUSE
YOU SHOWED THEM RESPECT AND ACCEPTED THEM FOR WHAT THEY WERE.
YOUR SMILE, THAT WAS SO WARM LIKE THE SUN,
WILL CONTINUE TO WARM OUR HEARTS EVERYDAY.
YOUR FRIENDS, OH SO MANY,
LIKE THE STARS IN THE UNIVERSE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS,
BUT WHEN SEEN TOGETHER GIVES A FEELING THAT NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS.
THE DAY WE LAID YOU TO REST THERE WERE SO MANY FRIENDS
AND A LINE OF CARS SO LONG THAT NO ONE COULD COUNT.
YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY COVERED YOU BY HAND
OUT OF LOVE AND RESPECT.
DAD
