Billie Sue and I were special friends from 1961 til 1964 here in Houston Tx. I am devastated to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Charles and his family.

I have so many wonderful memories of Billie Sue when we were friends at Jackson Jr. High and Austin High School. We were best buddies. I remember her great parents and sisters. We lost touch and I've searched for and inquired about her several times through the years. I was hoping to see her again but instead see this obituary. I think she must have had a good life which makes me happy. May the Lord be with her family at this time.
