Bille Lou was such a fun loving lady. A great matriarch of her family. Condolences to the family.
I remember Billy Lou from Sunday School. I always enjoyed talking to her. She had the best smile. Your Dad Tommy walked her into Sunday School. They were a wonderful couple. God Bless You.
May God’s peace comfort
Tommy. I get the Waco Tribune Orbituaries every day but my I didn’t get your Moms until today I am so sorry. We were friends for many years and had some good times. I will keep you and your family in my prayers at this sad time 💕💕
Please accept our sympathize for your loss. We had the pleasure of going to Ranger High School with both Tommy and Billy, and had a wonderful time with a group from our class about 4 yrs ago in their beautiful home in Waco. Jerry and I both feel blessed to have known them and take comfort knowing that they are together with the Lord.
