Not really sure what to say, still having a hard time wrapping my head around this. First off I just want to send my condolences to Billy’s family members he will certainly be missed. I considered Billy my younger brother when we were growing up on the West End he was such a character always had me laughing. I’m sitting here today just reminiscing how many fun times we shared. And all the music we have listen to especially the Rolling Stones he definitely was a very good friend of mine and he will be surely missed by all. To all Billy’s family I wrap my arms around all of you and give you the biggest hug I can possibly give you and my heart goes out to you all and all I can say is, try to stay strong. Love you all.

William Paul Hendrix changed my life forever. We got engaged 25 days before his passing. Billy was a man who taught me to have confidence in myself, self esteem and self worth and that was the best gift. He taught me to stand up for myself no matter what others thought and that is how I have survived for the last 7 years, 4 months and 3 days.
Happy Father’s and Grandfather’s Day l❤️ Myself and the Glambabies will love you forever and forever feel robbed. You were the best. Love, your fiancée to be
Billy was the first man to “Build me up instead of Tearing me Down” I get up everyday to be my best to show him how much I appreciate all he instilled in me
William was at his extreme happiest and I thank god for all the little notes to one another 💕the memories remind me how happy we both were
EVERYTHING
Billy was my fiance, he had gotten down on one knee and asked me to be his wife 25 days before his passing, I was and am still crushed but so grateful 💕
My heart has always been with Billy’s Family ❤️ I am so sorry for all the loss your family has endured 💔 I know my pain of the loss of one of the siblings and I can’t imagine it x 2 more. Thank you for allowing me to share 🙏
