Billi Odegaard

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I will miss you always. It was a pleasure to work with her and I think of her often. Especially, her stories of the beach house memories. God Speed.

Too my Dearest Billi and Family, Even tho I knew only yourself and your sister for just a short time. It seemed like a lifetime of happy memories she shared I could take a lil bit of knowledge home with me of wisdom. This I know, with your family bond, the people that you touched throughout the years... You were loved and thought of every day. And I can see you curled up on a beach chair, watching the waves come in, at your favorite beach house ( picture located in your room) ... Smiling that...

As I read here about Billi Odegaard's history I am struck by what a remarkable leader she has been. She was endowed with an abundance of compassion, felt at all levels of her organization. Billi's efforts have left the world a better place, and she has given all of us who worked with her many treasured, happy memories.

My life was enriched by knowing Billi for so many years, beginning on one memorable trip to Greece and as roomies on another... with so many treasured visits in between and after. She's possibly the most amazing, gracious, generous, insightful people I've known. My compliments to those who crafted her obituary. You did a wonderful woman justice.

My heart hurts a little bit less because I know the pain you endured no longer exists. My heart is filled with Joy having known you all these years- only you know how much you enriched my life and so many others. I thank God for what He allowed you to do and be, for what you gave so freely of yourself to so many. May your memory continue to be a guided light for those left to follow- Your blueprint will be and is forever more. I say this with love and respect- THANK YOU.

Billi. Billi. My dear Billi. No More Pain. Every time spent with you, I would take a lil bit home with me. And the look on your face, of excitement, when I sat with you. GOD has gained another angel. Prayers too the family/ friends, at this difficult time.
