My deepest condolences to you Mrs. Chimely and your family. From the pictures I've seen, and the stories I've heard, you all had a wonderful life together. Bill seemed like a very good man, always making you smile. He's now in heaven with his mother looking down at you. Always be strong, never hold in your tears. Let them out. One day God willing you two will reunite. God bless you always.

I have wonderful memories of Billy. Like Omar, I'm a high school friend. I knew Billy's parents and loved fishing with Billy and his dad on the Rio Grande. I visited with Billy at the July reunion and am now grateful I had that opportunity. To everyone in Billy's family, I extend my condolences.
