Leave a tribute for Billy Lynn Page.
Thank you all for your kind remembrances of my dad. I can’t express my gratitude for the support and love that you’ve shown him. He truly loved living in Morganton and the friends he made at church and Millside Manor. We will miss him so much but will see him again in a better place of no suffering or sadness and that gives us peace.
Billy was always a kind and sweet man to me. Although I didn't know him for too long, I will always remember the time that I spent with him and be thankful for it.
Your smiling face will be missed here at Millside. To the family I extend my deepest sympathy to you. May God continue to comfort you in this time of loss. God Bless!
We will meet again in a better place. May God Bless you for your work in his Kingdom.
Always looked.forward to Billy’s conducting our Bible study. What a loss. Regrets.
