Dear Teresa and all the family,
Once my lawn mower gave out and I needed it pronto. I called Billy. He said, “Bring it over. I can have it ready tomorrow.” I think he put me at the head of the line. His love for the Lord shined through all he did. James and I are praying for comfort and peace for you and the family.
Billy meant so much to our family over the years. He will be greatly missed. Prayers and love to all of Billy’s family.
My deepest sympathy to the Garrett family.🙏🙏
Billy was a great man! I think I favorite story he always told me was how he married Teresa so young so he could train her well. He quickly became one of my favorites at the County. Prayers for his family!! You will be missed grumpy!!!
