We are so sorry to hear about your loss. We all will miss her very much. We had a great time talking on the phone and stayed up late talking when we went to visit. I have some great memories of Aunt Billie and Uncle Rip. Uncle Rip makes the best biscuit and gravy ,we loved seating on porch and eating breakfast and talking about the flower and plants. Love you a lot Uncle Rip. Love Mike & Linda Mahaffey
