We enjoyed many lunches together. Some lasted hours as we found many subjects to explore, and many reasons to laugh. Thank you, Billie, for guidance, friendship, fellowship, and little Lucy.

Mike, I was sorry when I read the news of your mother's passing. I only met your mother a few times and she was always smiling. Even when we were little to me it seemed like she was heading out or coming in from playing golf. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

I was fortunate to see Billie on Friday at the club having lunch and share a hug and laugh with her. Ironic. I always enjoyed Billie when we both played in the golf league at GGCC. She will be missed! Sympathy goes to her son's and family for a great loss.

Mike and Frank, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. I have so many great memories of sitting on the couch in your Florida room laughing with your Mom and other great times spent together. She was a great person and so much fun! I know you'll miss her but hope your memories will bring you some peace and help ease your heartache. I won't be able to be at the service as I'll be out of town but please know I'm thinking of you all. Love, Clarkson
