I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Billy. When I first saw this tread I got that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach knowing what was to come for he and his family. I lost my mother to the same evil disease 6 years this July. I know what his family went through, holding on to every thread of fading hope that they will beat it.
I will say this, after mom died I realized. She was blessed. she died 5 1/2 weeks after diagnoses. And judging from the date of the first post about Billy, he was blessed also. This is one nasty evil disease that is very very painful and few ever recover from. They( My mother and Billy) lived a normal life all the way to the last few weeks, and we got to say our goodbye's. It's okay.. There job was done here, they got re-assigned. They will live in our memories and our hearts until we meet again. God is good all the time and all the time God is good!
