During your journey on your final flight home.
White wings will carry you and you will be flown.
To the pearly gates of Heaven, where
They will usher you in
To the feet of your Lord, your Saviour, and your friend.
He will hold you in His arms and the angels will sing.
As another one of His children is
Delivered by white wings.
Billy had a great heart and loving soul. He loved going fishing.
In addition to his father, Clarene, he was preceded in death by his stepmother, Peggy Broome; brother, Steve Broome; half sister, Carol Aday; and grandparents, Ernest and Lura McAlister and Clarene H. and Lilliam Broome.
