Dear Dee, Diana, CeCe, Butch and Kim,

For a time when you were young your Mother and I were good friends, married, moved to Nederland,
time passed, we no longer saw each other. Such a pity on my part, she was the best friend I ever had.

I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother.

Sue

To all Billie's kids: Sorry to hear about your mom. There are so many great memories of our families getting together years ago. Some day maybe we can get together and reminisce. Thinking of all of you. Take care. Love y'all. .Bob
