The visitation team from Lowell Church of God used to visit Sis. Billie; she blessed us tremendously! She always had a smile for us, and a crinkle in her eye! We always came away uplifted and looked forward to our next visit. We will truly miss her, but Heaven gained a sweet angel. May you R.I.P. Sis. Billie! We loved you. Sincere condolences to your family.

She, along with others from the Pentecostal Freewill Baptist Church, has been on my mind lately. I have nice memories of her as she played the piano there! You are in my thoughts & prayers.
