My condolences to the family of Billie. She was a woman of grace and kindness and I am honored to have known her. She will be remembered by many as the one who was there when they needed a friendly hand. She served as mother, wife, and good friend to many and she will be missed.

My prayers are with you all during this time. I have many fond memories of Aunt Bill and Uncle Olen when they'd come visit my grandparents, Otus and Nell. She was a good lady for sure.

Dear Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Miss Billie's passing. She was such a sweet lady and I truly enjoyed visiting with her when I was younger and in the last year at IRV. We would visit my aunt and Billie would sit with us and we laughed about passed things in life. She was a blessing. May God grant you peace and comfort in the days to come.

I became friends with Billie when she worked at Burnett Variety Store & I worked down the street at Jim Burnett's Office. Because of the Burnett connection of two businesses, I had many occasions to visit the store and used the s=time to get to really know Billie. Our friendship grew to become very good friends. After her retirement, we took a few nearby outings together, as well as eating yummy food at her place on may occasions. It is a fact, that she made the best homemade tea & no back cookies of anyone that I have every known. She loved inviting me over for both. In her last years, while she was living at IRV, I had many chances to visit with her in apartment or in the public dining room. While her memory faded, she always loved telling stories of those good ole days --even though our recollection may not have been complete. We can find comfort in knowing that Billiw knew the Lord & is rejoicing now that she has made it to her Heavenly Home.

So sorry for your loss. Billie was a good friend and
We worked the elections together for many years. God
Bless all of you and your families. We will see her again
Someday but in the meantime we will remember her and some days will be with sadness but there will also be days of laughter as you remember her when she was witty, care free and l am sure there were days of sadness
There is a new and brighter star in the sky tonight.
