Dear Conyers family,
It is hard to loose a parent/grandfather but as you start back to your daily routine, try to remember each day a happy memory of him and you will start to feel the joy of him and less of the pain. For myself , every time I see a toothpick laying around I will know it was placed there just for me and I will surely smile. I thank the lord for him &the times we had together, where memories where made. Our time with him and Peggy will be cherished. What a wonderful friend he has given me. I love you dear family & I will miss him always. Love, Kathi and Bob

Dear Conyers Family,

I only met Billy a handful of times when he came to our house to visit my father-in-law, Bill "Sleepy" Compton who has since departed. My husband (Billy Compton Jr) and I loved his visits and the joy he brought to us and our family.

Our last visit from Billy was about two years ago - a fish fry.... It was a happy, memorable event that we will not forget. Your Billy brought more shrimp than we could (almost) eat!

We wish you and your family peace.....We are so sorry for your loss that cannot be expressed in words....

God bless,

Love,
Cava Compton

To Billy's Family,
You were all very precious to him, in fact on Sunday he was talking about his his latest great grand daughter. We became a friend of Billy's when we started to attend Rehoboth UMC 3 years ago. He was a dedicated member of our Sunday School Class, Church, and Mens Club.
Your loss is Heaven's gain. May we all try to live our lives for Christ as he did.
May the Peace of Jesus Christ be with all of you in this time of grief.
