aunt Billie be missed. Cancer took her from us but did not take her spirit. All our love
Robert and Billie Dean: I am so sorry to hear of your sister's passing. She was older than me and I did not know her well but I always thought she had such a beautiful pic in the yearbook. Did not know she was a teacher here in Sharp County. May the Lord be with you all during this very difficult time.
Rest in peace my dear sweet Aunt Billie.
You will be missed, never forgotten, and I can't wait to catch up with you when I see you in heaven!
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Billie Jean will be missed but not forgotten. May God bless all.
Thinking of all family members with love and prayers,
Herman Jean Lewallen Gipson
