Billie Kallick Press

I have loved you Billie since first we met. My deepest sympathy to Frank, Bill and Paula.

Mrs. Press was my third grade teacher at Audubon Elementary School. In 1957 or 8 she went to Cape Canaveral with her husband a renown geophysicist and brought back this sand dollar. She broke it into pieces in front of us, and inside were revealed small, white inner shell parts that looked like doves. I think that was one of the first times I felt nature could do magic.

Mrs. Press was my third grade teacher at Audubon Elementary in Altadena, Ca. I have thought of her so many times through the years. I remember her quietly sitting by me outside on many occasions, her presence a great comfort to a very shy child.I also remember her saying to me, "Kit, take the good with you in life, leave the rest." She encouraged me to become a teacher, and I am. What a wonderful woman! Thank you. Kit Ross

My deepest sympathy to Frank, Paula and Bill. Billie was and continues to be an inspiration to me.

I was so sorry to hear about Billie's passing. I worked with her in Cambridge many years ago and she truly was someone that once you met her you could never forget her. My sympathies are with her family.

Billie was my hero, my mentor, my friend. The world has lost a lively, brilliant, dedicated, fun, inspiring, unique and lovely human being. I just learned of her passing. I am so sad. My deepest sympathy to family and friends.

Billie was a bright light in our presence, candid, full of smiles and quips. She truly made the world a better place.

I believe my husband Joel first mentioned the "gigantic hole in the universe" left by your passing. I keep returning to this image as there seems to be no other way to describe the loss of your uniqueness, your brilliance, and quite simply, your larger-than-life-ness. There will never be another one like you. Love forever from Sara, and family: Joel, Delano and Clara

I will miss forever your generosity of spirit, your sharing in our joys and troubles, the wisdom of your counsel, the stimulation of your intellect, and the richness of your laugh.
