    So very sorry to hear of Billie’s passing. She was a wonderful lady who was devoted to her both her family and her job. We worked together for over twenty years and shared a lot of good times. She loved talking to her coworkers and was always interested in their family life. She always had a box of animal crackers on hand for when the firemen brought their kids to the office. I will miss her and offer my sincere condolences to Charles, her children and grandchildren.

    Cousin Billie was one a million – it was so endearing to hear Robin speak Finberg-Gordon for she was truly a combination of both families combining her winning personality, her positive attitude, and her love of family and friends. For me – it was the end of our winning team! Much love always Cousin Billie!
