Beverly Weatherington just let me know that a former member of Lamar Heights passed away this past weekend of a stroke. Some of you will remember Billy Langham. His parents were Bill and Annie Langham. I know I have his mom’s name right and I think I have his dad’s name right. He lived in Oakland, Tennessee. If there is an obituary or I found out anything else I will pass that information on to you. I know he had a sister so please be praying for her and any other family members. Thanks. Lynn
