I have such fond memories of Billy and Emma. Emma and my mother were very close friends for so many years. And Billy was just a hoot. I enjoyed tormenting him any way I could. I hated to see him move to Cameron but they were able to take care of him instead of him being alone. I know he missed Emma with every ounce of his heart and soul. They were true soul mates. They both are very missed. My heart goes out for Billt Sean and all his nieces and nephews as well as all other family.
