To everyone, I am so sorry for your loss, Aunt Billie will be greatly missed by all. I am far away from you all but my heart and love goes to you all. I wish I could have been with you. I thought and still think of Aunt Billie all of the time. I’ll always remember how soft spoken she was and how she loved her family so much. Her love for Uncle Don was so great I felt it whenever I was near. We will miss her.
Love to all Marcie
My dear Aunt Billie. I will miss you deeply. Mom and you were so much alike I always felt at home with you and Uncle Don when I visited. I’ll always remember the Crock-pot exploding in your kitchen when we were outside about to drive back to Michigan. To Uncle Don, Tammie, Terrie, Robin, Leslie, husbands, children, Grand-children and all, my deepest condolences and sympathy and my deepest love to all for your lose. Take care and love the memories.
Dear Don & Family,
Our prayers are with you all. She was a very dear friend, a real lady and god knows she was a great lover of God and family.
