I recently came across an old picture of us inside of the shul on Eldridge Street in New York. In my minds eye, I see your smile, your shock of red hair, and I can hear your wisdom. Your words come to me as a dream remembered, a voice spurring me on to do better, to care more about my body, to never forget the women who came before us, and and how one woman, you Billie, could make such a lasting positive impact on so many. I miss you, dear Shvesta.

I have a health issue that popped up and i thought "aha I will pull out my witches heal!" my favorite herbal. I decided to look up Billie and was sad to see she had passed. I met her in Herkimer back in 1998. She knew her stuff. I'm so glad to have met her and still have this reference.

We were so fortunate to have Billie with us to share her research at the "Harriet Tubman: No Longer Underground Centennial Symposium" just 3 weeks before she died. Like Harriet, she was a courageous, caring trailblazer who set an example for all of us. Hers is a great loss.

Sharon, my heart goes out to you for your sudden loss. I know how much Billie loved you.
Billie, My Shvesta, having you in my life for the last 40 years has been a source of strength for me. You have shown us all how to live in health and light. I know that you will soon be with Max and Kay, and that Kay will priestess you into the Realm that you all now inhabit. You are now among my Amakua, blessed one. You will always live in my heart. Blessed be.

Billie, you were a treasure and I am so sorry to learn that you are gone. It was a pleasure for me to know you and work with you to spread the word about the National Women's Hall of Fame. Your passing is a real loss to all who care deeply about women's issues and justice for all.

You touched so many with your herbal teachings and your pottery. I light a pale candle in the lavender candle holder that Billie made way back in '79 to honor her memory and her good work for lesbians and all women. Blessed be....
