Billy was my heart and soul. We were two peas in a pod. We have always been so very close with Stephanie And Cody, Ryan and Adam, and Steph’s family too as we spent many Christmas Days together. And boy, did he love coming to concerts, and Steven and everyone I worked with loved him too It will not be the same when he is not there to greet me with a big hug at the door, or wave and give The Cramer Goodbye when we leave, but I see all he has taught and instilled in Cody, Ryan and Adam. And Stephanie has always been the sister I have never had. Keep giving us signs baby brother. I love you with all my heart❤️ Your favorite sister....Suzanne and my loving husband Jon
Stephanie and boys.... I am in shock to just read this today. I am so sorry for you have lost your dad and husband. My heart hurts for you all. Love, Kim for the Popenfooses
