To all of her children,



Billie was a WONDERFUL woman. I had the priviledge of working with her for many years and getting to know her as a friend. She and I ate lunch together and had many great conversations - some of which still linger in my memories.

She was a great mother and grandmother in the respect that she constantly doted on all of her kids and especially the grandkids. Her special times with the grandkids were when she could take one of them to the farm and fish or just run around for awhile and be away from the daily grind.

Billie will be missed by many of us who worked with her and she was respected by all of us who knew her.

My deepest condolences the family. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.

I enjoyed visiting with Billie at church. She was always very friendly and thoughtful. Even sometimes when she didn't feel well, she always had a nice smile for me. I will miss her.
