I cannot believe that this has happened, but am greatful that it was quick for Billie. The raveges of this disease are to great to conceive. My heart goes out to all of you, his Lamar and Granada family. I know that he was well loved and that the impact he had your community was great. He impacted me as a friend. I was lucky to have him in my orbit fo these last 35 years. Even though I didn't see him often, I could always call and talk to him or email him. He will be missed, heart soul and body. I am afraid the angels have a new BOSS.
Much love,
Annie Brenmna-West
