My Aunt Billie was always to me a very gracious lady! I will remember her sweet and gentle laugh and twinkling brown eyes that made you feel warm and welcome inside. She will be missed by all that new her and loved her. My deepest sympathy to my cousins and her family!
When I was a child I thought my Aunt Billie was pretty. I wish I could have been around my aunts and uncles more. I thought my cousins, Judy and Nancy were really neat girls. I loved you all. I can not say the words that would adequately tell you how sorry I am for our loss. God Bless all of aunt Billies family. With Love, Sam
Love and Hugs sweet friend from our ‘farm days’ at Quincy.

Love and Prayers,
Your cousin,

The Taite and Lorenzen families send their love and condolences to the family at this difficult time. Jennifer Taite, our daughter in law/ sister in law, was very close to her grandmother and will miss her very much. Our hearts go out to her and her family.
Nancy, and Judy, Im so sorry to hear about your mom. You may not remember me, but Im sure you remember my parents–Alice and Elmer Huck and my brothers Wesley and Phil. Im Lynn, the youngest. My dad died two years ago at the age of 99. My mom died in 1971 and Wesley died at the age of 54. Phil lives in Dallas and I still live here. When your parents and my parents got together, they had the best of times. I sure miss the ‘old days’. Please take care and your very pretty mom will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Judy and Nancy, Your mom was a ‘One of a kind’ woman and I loved her dearly, although I wasnt very good about relaying that to her as I did not often talk to her via phone. I felt so privileged to crochet her a pink scarf that she said she would like and she also said she loved. It is sad that we were all so far apart and couldnt really be with each other to express the love we had for one another. I know she is happy where she is now and is having a great time with her family that has gone before her. Blessings and prayers for all of you while you grieve her loss. Love to all of you-your cousin-Linda
