Billie was one of my customers at the pharmacy I was working at before she moved to Springfield. She was by far one of my favorite customers. I always enjoyed talking to her and she always left me with a smile on my face. She was a great lady. My deepest condolences to the family.
A great friend for many years.
Sorry for your loss Roger and the family.
