In Memoriam for Billy LeRoy by Mr and Mrs Leonard Roberts
In loving remembrance of Billy LeRoy who God called home on December 1 1947. A golden chain remains though death tries to break. To have to love and then to pain is the greatest sorrow. The years erase many things but not the memory of happy days together.
