What a wonderful long-time friend! I have such beautiful memories of so many of our “escapades”. My heart goes out to the family. Many prayers will be going up for each of you as you adjust to life without our beautiful, fun-loving Billie Jo.
Our family is blessed with the love and memories of our beautiful friend Billie Jo. She cared for my mother (Louise Bowling) like she would have cared for her own mother. My heart is breaking but I know without a doubt she is with the Love of her life (Julian). Julie, Jeff, & Ricky y’all are in my prayers. Your mother was a true friend to me!
Ricky so sorry to hear about your mother. She was such a nice lady. When I would see her, she always gave an update on her children. We will be praying for you and your family during this difficult time.
