My heartfelt condolences to the family of Mr. Lyons. He was a very sweet man and usually had a smile on his face. I pray that God will send His Comforter to be with the family during this time of bereavement. Continued prayers for you all.

I used to see Mr Billy at all the sporting events at North and FKHS. I didn't know his name at the time or that he was Markita's Dad. But he was always around and always supportive. First face I saw after we (North) lost to Fort Knox in overtime in 1981-82. Told me to keep my head up. I never forgot that.
