Billie was my great grandmother, and her and Pawpaw (her husband) were like a second home to me. I’m absolutely crushed by her passing, but I will always have fond memories of going to the lake house and helping her cook, watching family movies, and staying over at their house constantly and helping her solve puzzles. Rest easy, I’ll miss you. “I love you, I love you, I love you, divine, give me your bubblegum, you’re sitting on mine”.
