Not sure what to say?

Billie Kerl Roberts was my GOOD friend. I miss her soo much. However, I know she is so HAPPY in Heaven with the Lord. No more sadness, No more pain and No more crying. Just HAPPINESS while walking around Heaven all day with the Lord. R.I.P. my friend.

To The Roberts Family. I just want to let you know that I am ALWAYS praying for your family. I miss Billie and our late night conversations. She was a person that was loved by EVERYONE. It still seems so surreal for me. But it is such an inspiration in knowing that she is in a better place. But isn´t it so good to know that one day we will ALL see her again in that GREAT GETTING UP MORNING. What a time, What a time, WHAT A TIME!! Remember GOD is still on the THRONE. RIP Billie.

OMG! Another whole year has passed. WOW! Time just moves right on along. But memories of my friend Billie Kerl Roberts will always remain in my heart. I think of her SOO many times and as I told you before i have MANY Billie days where I just sit and think about her compassion, gentleness, Godliness, soft spoken voice as well as many more accolades I can think of, but most of all I think of our many texts, phone calls and her friendship. You can have solace in knowing she was one of the...

Ms. Billie: The G.O.A.T Musician, mother, wife, friend and educator. Hardly a day goes by that I don't think of her kindness, wisdom and humanitarian spirit. Much love to you and your family!!!

Ms. Roberts was my elementary choir teacher 4 thru 6 grade in Queen City Charles L. Rice Learning Center when Louise Smith, principal. She taught me so many things regard singing. I remember when had to go in front of her piano when we were learning our parts, I learned from her that I was second Soprano/ first Alto. During the holiday season we would perform at the Plaza of Americas in downtown Dallas and we got to ice skate after performing. She was also my Soror, I will always remember her...

Ms. Billie was the most compassionate, loving and talented person I have had the honor to work with. She always had a kind word to say when our days were challenged, there were so many times I would go down to her choir room and when she recognized me quietly standing in her doorway, she would promptly stop directing her choir and start playing "Amazing Grace or "Precious Lord, Take My Hand". She always knew when I needed a spiritual uplifting. I will forever cherish her as a dear friend and...

WOW! It has been a WHOLE year since she left us. But it seems it was JUST yesterday. My how time flies.

I still have what I call: MY BILLIE ROBERTS days and often I shed a few tears thinking about all of the good memories of our times together and our many many conversations. I TRULY miss her SO much.

Again, I want to encourage you to KEEP THE FAITH and know that she is fine and watching over you daily. I will continue to pray for your strength. Love ya.

Billie was an intelligent innovator. I began my teaching career under her leadership when she served as the Director of the Fine Arts Department of DISD. She was always ready to get to know the people she worked with. That ability and desire brought a richness to her leadership that was unparalleled. Personally, once she learned my name, she never forgot me and was always ready to speak to me no matter where we were or how busy she was. Billie, thank you for teaching me through your...

I am SO sorry to hear about your loss. This has been so DEVASTATING for me as I visited with her on several occasions and she was ALWAYS so happy to see me. As I entered her room, she would ALWAYS say: HEY QUEEN in that sweet soft voice. We have been friends for SO long and met as teachers at The Mighty L. G. Pinkston High School. We immediately clicked right away.
I will miss her dearly, but I do have solace in knowing that she is DEFINITELY...
