Never had the pleasure of meeting Billie but sure heard plenty about her from members of her family that tirelessly cared for her over the past four years. A long and distinguished life, in all of the most meaningful ways – a prime example of why veteran newsman Tom Brokaw referred to hers as “the greatest generation” – she personified that in so many ways. “True grit”, with an iron constitution, a warm heart, and a twinkle in her eye!
To her family and close friends, our condolences; to all those who so diligently cared for her through her infirmities these past years, seeing to it her quality of life was so maximized, her interests always protected, our deep respect and admiration – well done!
