Memories of Billie as told by Aunt Anna Mae (Barto) Frishkorn: He was in the hospital for some time and they had to drain him from time to time to get rid of excess fluids but she didn't remember any surgery. Mom and Dad would come and stay with him every morning but they had to leave in the afternoon as Dad had to go to work. She and Aunt Cookie lived together then....this was back in 1944 and she was not married yet and Uncle Glenn was in the service. So she worked at the telephone company near by so when she got off work she would go home and get Aunt Cookie and they would go to the hospital and be with Billy. She said he was such a happy baby...never cried....but smiled all the time. He never crawled or anything but the nurses would allow them to pick him up and carry him and they would stay with him each afternoon. She said she wanted us to know that he was well cared for in his short life here. Then Mom and Dad were allowed to take him home when he had maybe a week to live or so and he was so frail that they had to carry him on a pillow.
