Love you so much mom
Billie,
Your love for life was a strength that I know will follow you into this next chapter. Praying that you are now surrounded by your loved ones and you have found peace and comfort.
I pray those you have left behind can find peace in knowing this.
Your spirit will live on and your joy shall be missed.
Love you always,
Phil and Cindy
Thank you so much for your kind words
Our Loving Mother.
2 Corinthians 5:6 Therefore, although we are always confident and know while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord- For we live by Faith, not by sight so we are confident and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be home with the Lord. My Mom was a firm believer in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. So I take comfort that she is home with the Lord.
Your Loving Son James
RIP. You will be missed.
Billie,
It was a great pleasure knowing you and your family for the past 40 plus years. I will mis your smile and laughter. Rest in peace
Love Eric.
We’ll miss you so much, Billie, and will think of you often.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of Billie’s family at this sorrowful time. We didn’t get to visit with her often but when we did she was always a delight to be around,
especially at the Boaz Family Reunions. She will be missed. May God Bless you all. ????????????

Even though I never met Billy Marie in person I bet she was an amazing woman who lived a selfless life loving unconditionally like Christ loved. I see her legacy in her son James and his family:. Hardworking, Tenacious, Kind, and Faithful. Rest in peace.
