Precious God fearing lady who loved her family and her Church. This lady was always nice to me and those around her. I will miss her at the Silsbee Church.She is another great saint of God gone. I know she will be missed.Praying for all the Family.
Our condolences to Sister Billie’s family on the loss of a special lady. She was such a wonderful person and child of God, who remained steadfast in her walk with Him, thru the good times and the bad times. What an example she set for all of us and an heritage for her family. Our church family will miss her too. But, in our sorrow, we will rejoice (as she’d want us to) that she “finished the fight and kept the faith” until the end. We’re praying for comfort & strength for all of you, and, that you will follow her example of faithfulness. Love & prayers, Pete & Jan McKinney
To the Gibson family, We are both sending thoughts and prayers to the family.
She was the best role model anyone could ask for. I love how she was always honest and spoke her mind. She was the brightest light! We will all miss her deeply.
Sister Gibson’s passing has taken a prayer warrior from our midst!! She will be greatly missed!.
