I know where Billie is today. I know she is with her Savior. I have never known anyone more in love with Jesus than Billie is. As I look back in my Bible I see all my marked scripture she has explained and things she has taught me I really grew in the word of God as a result of her teachings. I thank God for that. I know Wanda and all the family will miss her so much but have no doubt they know exactly where that precious lady is.
Love you all Barb Johnson

So sorry for your loss. Mimi was truly beautiful inside and out. Praying for your family. Love you!
Wanda I was sorry to see that Aunt Billie had passed away. I know it is hard to give our mother to the Lord even knowing they are completely healed and full of joy. I will be praying for you, Gene and your sweet family.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Mimi is an awesome christian woman. She always let the light of Jesus shine through her. It was a blessing to know Mimi.
I am so sorry for your loss. Ms. Billie was such a sweet lady, I will keep you all in my prayers.
Mrs. Billie as we all knew her was a wonderful teacher and an even stronger Christian lady. I'm sure her reception on Heaven's shores was special for her husband and dear brothers.
Wanda and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Billie's passing. Thankful that she is now with our Heavenly Father and no longer suffering. My prayers are with you!

Jerry and I are so sorry for your loss, but Heaven's gain! You are all in our prayers.
Mimi's passing makes me both sad and happy. Sad for all her family and friends left here but happy for her to go to her heavenly reward! I loved her so much. The highlight of my week when I had my salon was when she came to have her hair done. We had many good visits and always discussed our faith. She loved her family so much and I know you will all miss her greatly. You will all be in my prayers.
LANA AND KENNY,
SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. OUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS ARE WITH Y'ALL.
