May you rest in peace. You were a good man and I will forever love you. I'm sorry I didn't know about this until afterwards. I hope to see you again in heaven. Love, Sissy

When I first came in contact with the Message of the Hour in 1995, Bro Billy was one of the first people that stood out in the my first service at the Word of Life Mission. Him playing the accordian and singing "Ther Shall Be Light in the Evening Time". The zeal that he played it with and the Holy Spirit was all over him. I will always have fond memories of our short rides from Timberlake to the church. I enjoyed every minute and will miss him greatly. But... I have a promise that I will see him again and spend time with him on the other side. God Bless the family and loved ones. May God comfort you in this time.

So sorry to hear about Billy. He lived across from my grandfather Joe Griggs in Burkeville and use to play with my mother, Myrtie Griggs Bobbitt, when they were little. He was so much fun to be around. I had not seen him since he moved to the nursing home in Jasper, I use to visit him in Newton, and he was a pleasure to visit. The family are in my thoughts and prayers. With Love, Barbara Bobbitt Zerangue
