    My prayers and thought go out to the family. I just found out today of Billy's passing. Since Billy had moved from Roslindale, I hadn't seen him as often. But I did bump into him a few times and we talked and laughed, as Billy always did with everyone. Billy will always be remembered for his big smile, laugh and great conversations. May God give you all strength to endure your loss.

    My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to the Somers family. I am so sorry to hear of Billy's passing. Although I haven't seen Billy or the family much since moving from Roslindale, I did bump into Billy a few times. He was always great to conversate with cause he loved to talk to people and he was always smiling and laughing. He will be missed by so many who knew and loved him. I pray for God to give you all strength to endure your loss. The great memories Billy left you all will always be with you. Smile as he always did when you think of him and those memories.
