Aunt Billie and Uncle Chet gave our family so many wonderful , funny ,happy, and loving memories.
I am so glad that she and Sandy came to see Glenna, and that my kids got to meet her. She was a hoot, as always. I love you Aunt Billie, you will be missed.

Billie and Chet will always have a place in my heart. I loved both of them very much and thankful to have been a part of their lives at one time. Will always remember their sense of humor. Very sorry to hear of her passing.
