I am so sad to hear of Billie's passing. I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with both Billie and Whitey when my family lived in Portsmouth. She was like a Grandmother to me and I will never forget her warmth and love. My deepest sympathy to both Whitey and the Johnston family. Billie will always live in my memory.

Billie was a wonderful person and had a lasting impact on those around her. I remember the wonderful times shared when we lived in Portsmouth so many years ago. My condolences go to you all, Whitey, and the Johnstons family. May you all be richly blessed.
