All Condolences -

To the family of Nancy Billings, I never had the opportunity to meet Nancy in person, but we spoke many times on the phone. When my mother was living she would let me know if the group needed fabric and/or yarn. After my mother died, Nancy called me when her supply of fabric and yarn was running low and I would assure her that a supply would be there from San Antonio, Texas. She was always so nice on the phone and always assured me of her prayers. May she rest in peace.

Your mom was always in my heart. She was so very special. She always treated me like one of the family. I am so very grateful to have known her. God bless each of you.

My most vivid memories of Mrs. Billings include telling Matt and I to come home EVERY time we went anywhere and how welcome I always felt in her house. I’m so sorry Becky, Dina Matt, Greta and Nate for the loss of your mom.

To the Billings siblings, my sincerest condolences on the passing of your mother. I have fond memories of growing up in the Jefferson Street neighborhood playing ball in the street. You will all be in my thoughts in the days ahead. God bless.
