My prayers and condolences to Billy, Delana, Bailey, Bella, Brook and the rest of the Wotten family. I am so sorry for your loss and I pray that God will give you and your family the comfort and strength you will need to help you cope with your loss. Knowing that Mr Billy SR is in a better place with our Maker does not take away the sadness. However his new transition into Mortatility has graced him the opportunity to watch over you all. His spirit lives on , in your hearts and memories. May he rest in eternal peace.

When I told of Billy's passing, I was deeply saddened. I met Billy in 1977 during our freshman year at WSSU. He was then and always has been a kind soul. Our class will miss him dearly. His smile was infectious. May he rest in peace and may a flight of angels carry him to his heavenly home.

Billy was a gentle giant who touched every person he met. I met him once back in 2011 during his retirement luncheon from Pfizer. But we chatted on the phone and online until his untimely death. Billy will forever be a warm memory in my heart. May God comfort the family and friends during this time of sorrow.

Please find comfort in knowing what is stated here at Revelation 21:4, It gives us a gleam into what God is able to do and will do, for it says, “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
I like to leave you with this expression of hope. “…may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, comfort your hearts and make you firm in every good deed and word.” 2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17. My deepest sympathy goes out to all the family.
