To my Dad’s Family and Friends,

I want to thank you for coming to the fundraiser. To have seen you all there made me happy to know you had the chance to know my wonderful dad. It makes me feel good to know that my dad knew people as good as you. I knew that it came out of the goodness of your hearts to come to the fund. I hope you all had fun. Thank you very much.

Dear Friends and Family,

I truly thank you for your kindness and generosity towards the fundraiser.  This evening will always be a memory I will hold dear to my heart.  You all made the evening a night of hope and possibility for the future.  It was comforting to see the diversity of Billy’s friends.  Billy had only one criteria for friendship and it was that you had to be a good person. It was evident this evening that he surrounded himself with only good people.

 

William and I greatly appreciate seeing you all there; we hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did. The evening would not have been possible, if it were not for Chris and Karen. They did an amazing job and surely know how to create a fun atmosphere. I was happy to hear that the tug boat ride was such a hit, and that we were able to accommodate the two enthusiastic winners. 

 

I hope you all saw this evening as a happy remembrance of a very special friend who would have done the same for you in a heartbeat.

 

God Bless,

Toni Barnes
