When I think of Billie I think of a lovely Southern lady who loved music, poetry, England, and sharing a good cup of tea. I admired her positive outlook on life and how she encouraged others, including myself, to always look for beauty and goodness in all things. I am thankful for her friendship. - Barbara Ruddick
