  31. Billy,

    Thank you for teaching me how to hand ball left and right handed, kick the footy and so many other life lessons. You were the best neighbour and friend a boy could ask for. I have so many great stories of us I can share one day when I have children of my own.

    I hope I can grow tomatoes as well as you did, you were so proud of those tomatoes. Now you will be able to listen to the trots without me interrupting by jumping over the little pool fence you set up for me between our houses.

    I am so thankful we got to see you when we were home last. You will never be forgotten Billy.

    Condolences to Bev and all of the family at this sad time.

    Love ya Billy.
