Girls,I have so many wonderful memories with and of your mother, my special friend and compatriot, Billie. I’ll go back to babysitting all of you to our last tournament together in Orlando at the NCAA DII Championships. I have missed seeing your mom these last few years. Our last visit was at your Father’s Memorial Celebration. She expressed rather forcefully that “of course I know who you are!”

I loved your mom and will think wonderful thoughts of our journey together. My condolences and best wishes to you and your families.

I'm so sorry to hear about Billie Owen's passing.  She must have been a fabulous wonderful woman to have brought her first daughter Sarah in the world.  My sincere and deep condolences.   

Billie was my accompanist at Brant school when we had kids performing.  I was another parent and we were both musicians and just wanted to help as we could. A talented, smart and beautiful woman. 

I met Billie and John on a Greek Cruise in 2005. We hit it off immediately. She was like a sister to me, and we had some great trips and adventures together. I am so sorry to hear of her passing, but I know she'll keep those heavenly angels on their toes! 
Love you Billie! ❤️.....Sherry xxoo

i knew Billie, from tennis.   She worked many high school tennis tournaments in the Kansas City area.  I was the tennis coach at Leavenworth High School.   She was a firm official and a very good official.   I got to know her through the years, being a former tennis official.  My sympathy goes out to her family.

Respectfully,
Coach Jim Mathis

Sarah,
Your mother was so unique!  Growing up I remember how frank and honest and to-the-point she was.  She had a wit, too, and talked fast.  And I remember her playing tennis.  She was very nice and caring to me.  I'm so sorry for your loss -- my mom has been gone now for 7 years.  It would be nice to reminisce if you want to call me at (720) 301-7653 or better yet my home phone in Wheat Ridge, CO at (303) 274-2163 has a more reliable voice mail.
Your childhood friend, Frances Hawley

Billie was warm and engaging.  I always enjoyed talking to her.  She loved life and it showed.  It was my privilege to be her pastor the years I was at Country Club United Methodist Church.
