Billy was born with an abnormal heart. HE WAS GOOD AND KIND AND ADORED HIS FATHER, MOTHER, AND SISTER.
The family lived across the street from his final resting
place.
On his death bed.. he asked his father for a stick of gum.
His father handed him the gum and Billy slowly tore it in half. He said that he wanted his dad to have the other half. (This family, along with many others, were not rich and the times bad in 1924 -1925). His father kept the other half of that peice of gum, in a lock box with other memories, until his death in 1970.
Billy was 7 years old. He was buried, by his Father in a rough box in Spring Grove Cemetery.
Contributing to cause of death.. Clorea (St Vitus dance)
a.k.a Parkinson's Disease.
**Additional info.

to cross the road FROM the cemetery TO his home (across from the cemtery).
from the 1920's until 1954 people reported this
sighting. Billy's Mother died and the sighting ended.
Waiting at the Door
I can’t explain so deep inside
The very fabric of my soul
Only a heart that grieves such loss
Can ever truly understand
It’s like you’re waiting at the door
Until a loved one comes back home
You feel a longing in your heart
When they appear the longing stops
But in a loss that never ends
You’re always standing at that door
You feel the longing in the breeze
So incomplete and never filled
I cannot find the words to say
Just what it’s like to want forever
Never seeing them again
Just always waiting at the door

Special Angel Billy
When you hear an Angel softly whisper to you,
In the light of the day, or the darkness of the night.
When you feel the presence of an Angel caress you,
And see their beautiful wings spread in graceful flight.
When something inside you just makes you smile,
Or you feel a warmth suddenly wash over your heart.
When your dreams are beautiful and include an Angel,
As you lay with your head on your pillow, in the dark.
When you're alone, and everything is quiet around you,
Yet you can hear the sweetest lullaby being sung.
When waking up in the morning, any troubles feel lighter,
From speaking with an Angel, before a new day has begun.
Then you know I am the Angel who you can feel and hear;
Your special Angel from Heaven who will always be so near.
I'm no longer able to be here in body, but I'm with you everyday,
As my loving heart, my soul, and my spirit, will never be far away.
