I always loved seeing Billie. I will never forget the first time I met her. She said "Baby, don't call me Mrs. Patterson. I am Billie." And since that day, she was my Billie. I loved taking care of her. She was always happy to see me and always told me how much she loved and appreciated me. She always made me feel loved and told me all kinds of stories of her life. She always wanted me to know that I was her baby. I love you so much, Billie. I will see your beautiful soul again one day.

Ms. Billie was such a sweet genuine person. I always found comfort around her and often visit her even if I wasn’t exactly on her hall. She loved all of us girls at RVHR. As long as I shall live I will never forget her ❤️

Aunt Billie always gave me confidence.  If she saw me hiding a body part because of my skin,  or,  if I thought my shirt was a little too short around her or mommom, she would always find a way to make me feel comfortable! Always put a smile on my face! "Oooh sexy sally!!"  or  "oh Mandarin,  they don't deserve you if they can't look past your skin"  (it was really bad on my face when I was little). also, BEST HUG GIVER EVER!!!  Love you forever AB!

We will always remember the fun we had with you. The best thing about you was your generosity to your family. Not many people opened their hearts and home to help others like you did. I will always remember your talent for repairing my mothers table runner . When I look at it I think of her and you.  Love Kathy and Scott.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Billie.  She will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all her family.   Randy and Lynda Miller

I latched on to  Billie  the first time I saw her at an early age.  We hung out with  each other and traveled together on trips.  We had fun with our  tea drinking and talking about everything that happened to us.  Billie is  my baby  sister that I loved her so much.  I  couldn't find a  better  person who was  kind, friends to everyone, and  would  give  you  her money to help you. Billie  will be a  star in  heaven  that we can  see forever......love you  Billie  and  so does  my  family. 

Billie , Connie, Bob and Ron were young teenagers when we took them on vacation up the mountains for a week.  
The first time Billie and Connie went out in a canoe so, they went out first, got in the middle then started to row.   They were going in circles so fast that we were giggling trying to tell them how to straighten out the canoe.  Bob and Ron had to hurry and get out there with them to stop them from circling.    We were all laughing.    They held the canoe and showed them how to canoe.   Was a fun day.  Miss those moments
