I thank God that Billie Jean was a part of my life. She will live in my heart till we meet again on the other side. She was indeed a very special lady. The grief we feel now is for us – not her. Billie Jean is home. In my mind’s eye I can see angels carrying her to the open arms of her Father. We offer condolences to the family. She will be so missed.
The last time that I spoke to Billy was on her birthday. She was so loving and so kind on the phone, that I will never forget.I love you Billy Jean and I hope you and daddy are enjoying your time in heaven.
To all of Billie’s family: May you draw strength from the wonderful memories of sharing her life. May God the Comforter draw you near to him in the days ahead. You are in our prayers.
Billie was a wonderful Aunt who I had tremendous respect for. She was so patient, loving and I truly enjoyed being around her. Rest in peace and thanks for all the wonderful memories.

Heaven has gained another beautiful soul! She will be sadly missed here on this earth, but we have hope that one day we will see her again! Billie Jean was such a wonderful person, always giving. May God’s peace rest on her family!
