Love the Powers

My condolences to the family especially my great grandchildren Trystan and Piper. Karin Van Wart

Mr. Childress embraced us with love from the moment he meet us. We are so very grateful  and thankful to have known this Awesome Man of God. He has been a Blessing to Destiny Christian Fellowship Church Family. Praying for comfort and peace in your loss; for strength when the days are long and the assurance of God’s healing love to embrace your heart. My Deepest Most Heartfelt Condolences are with you and your family.
Terri Brown (Destiny Christian Fellowship Church)

First I would like to give my condolences to the family. I Pray that everyone finds comfort during this difficult time. I was shocked and sadden to hear about my loving neighbor Bill passing. I remember the month that my father passed, my children and I were outside when I began to cry. Bill came over as he always did and gave me the biggest hug. It was something he knew I needed at that time. He just let me cry and welcomed my sadness as what any loving father figure would do. When I was finished he elbowed me and said “Hey i got enough love to be their papa too”. That really put a smile on my face. From that day on he was no longer Mr. Bill but Papa Bill. Im going to miss seeing that neighborly face every morning and having our driveway conversation. My heart goes out to Mrs Barbara and his entire family. 

Condolences to your family. My Mom (Nancy Harris)worked with Billy for a number of years at B&W. I will always remember the love and support he and Larry Irvin gave her at the end of her life and  through her illness. The three amigos as I called them… we should all be so luck to have that in our lives. Rest In Peace Billy and give my mama a big hug for me.

Been a long time and sad to hear of Billy's passing. Sure my dad (Jewett), Pete, and the rest of the brothers and sisters are catching up with him now.

Billy, you were a great guy who loved all of your family. I was glad to know you and be apart of your life. You will be missed but never forgotten.

My prayers and condolences to your family. He was a great man and a fun loving person. He was a blessing to our ministry. We will miss him.
