My deepest sympathy to both of Billy’s sons. My dad, Merrill H. Gearhart was a cousin to your mom Maxine. I remember them as a kid. I had no idea that Billy was at Hickory Creek where my 96 year old mom is. She has been there 2
years this December. Her name is Mary Gearhart, room 4. My name is Shirley Gearhart Tingley. It is a small world. I will be praying for you and your families 🙏
