We grieve with you.
Billie was a courteous, kind woman loved and respected by so many. Her strength of character and resilence was outstanding.
While we all will miss her greatly, we know she is surrounded by love in Heaven as she was on earth.
Deepest sympathy

Our entire family grieves for your family. Billie was always one of our fond memories each time we visited back there.
She was a courteous, strong lady and a fighter to boot, as are all of you.
As much as she will be missed, we all know she is embraced by love galore.
Deepest sympathy,
Novella for the Hargett's out west
Mrs. Eula Mae,
We are sorry for the loss of your sister. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
