Comments on: Press Release From Billings Family http://www.northescambia.com/2009/07/press-release-from-billings-family Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sun, 05 Apr 2026 14:44:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jennifer http://www.northescambia.com/2009/07/press-release-from-billings-family/comment-page-1#comment-15754 Jennifer Thu, 16 Jul 2009 23:36:22 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=9507#comment-15754 This story haunts me...it just seems so incredibly unfair that good, decent, God-loving and charitable people could have something so horrible like this happen to them. I guess the real sad story here is of 8 people who have tossed their lives away for a "mess of pottage"...money they will never see, and that doesn't even BEGIN to match the worth of these two wonderful people whose lives these wicked, selfish idiots have taken. These criminals. Will. Pay. Even if our judicial system can't come up with a punishment fitting, justice will, at some point, be served. What a pity that some people are so completely selfish and stupid. An infuriating pity! The only blessings I can see that have come from this are: 1) the sweet children were spared, 2) the criminals were quickly caught, with damning evidence against them (thank goodness for those cameras!) and 3) the world watching this story unfold stands ready to help this family. God sometimes let the wicked do what they will, to justify their punishment, but He always manages to bless the innocent, even if it is in small ways. I know the souls of these two good people will live on, and will find ways to bless their children, even if it is from Heaven. Prayers are with the family.

It sounds as if they were very good people and the world has truly been dealt a loss with their passing. Prior to joining the military, I worked with developmentally challenged adults/teens and I know the joy and fulfillment that come from that type of service, so I know that what they were doing was a great thing. I pray that you have the strength to continue their work. May God be with you. Take care.

I don't believe I have ever been more sorrowful. I hope the family will be able to read this message.

I can't imagine the feelings of loss and confusion. Thanks to God Almighty, this is a family founded on His love which will carry them through they years to come. I am impressed with the police force and Sheriff's department for acting quickly to capture the criminals so that justice may be served immediately. The men will surely pay a high price for their selfish, wicked acts. My deepest sympathy goes out to all the Billings children. I can’t imagine the feelings of loss and confusion.
