Billie and Max were my favorite friends since the 70s. We had so many wonderful times. Special times with wonderful people. Billie had an incredible laugh which brought life to any gathering. Truly a person I will miss. She will bring life to heaven.
Sending our deepest condolences, Max, and lifting each of you up in our prayers. Billie was such a lovely woman and it was an honor to have known her.
Billie is my first cousin and also the person I grew up wanting to be like. She was always so loving, and compassionate toward me. That’s who she was! A professional Christian lady who was also a great mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. A devoted wife, precious daughter, and committed sister. To me, my mentor molding my youth. I love you Billie Jean❤️
Billie was a special lady. I treasured her friendship from the time she & Max brought me bread after my first visit to church and invited me to join the HAMACO Sunday School class. My heart goes out to Max and their children as I hold them in my prayers. May she rest in well deserved peace.
Dear Max and family, My heart aches for all of you. Billie and you have been a big part of my family for many years. Daryl and I made so many wonderful trips with you and I cherish the precious memories. Our Friday night dinners together were a highlight of our week. I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. She will certainly be missed . I love you all! Paula
