“Fly baby fly” was her voice message she left for me the previous time she was in the hospital and she was told she could go home. That lovely lady was always so happy to come home and that knowledge always lifted my spirits. Thank you all for being such an amazing family who will always be in my heart and my prayers.
Love Billy
