Billie Jo and I are first cousins. She has always been special to me even though we didn't see each other often. Billie Jo spent several months with us here in Virginia when she went to Cosmetology School. We were both young and we became close and had an absolute great time together, and that friendship and kinship remained with us. I will truly miss you my Dear Cousin. Plan to see you in Heaven!!!
