I am so very sorry for your loss. I remember
Billy's smiling face as he would register at the ESA Conventions. He was always the most pleasant man, with a kind word

I am at such a loss for words- I feel such great
sadness over knowing "Billy Bob" is no longer with us. I will always have such fond memories of his playful nature
with my daughters, his sense of humor and beautiful smile. I said to my parents, "Florida isn't Florida without all
the stories with Janie & Billy Ray!" Hold fast to the wonderful memories and keep his spirit alive. My thoughts and
prayers are with all of you.
Love, Kira Layng (Mark, Gillian and Madison)
