Billie was one of the coolest people I've ever met. She was so humble in spite of being a Registered Nurse. 1 of very few black. I worked with her at the hospital & she & I dealt with some stuff. She taught me how to work through it. Girl I'm gonna miss you. God take care of my girl. She took care of me.
