Billie Kaye had been a friend of our family for many years.She loved to sing Gospel songs and did so for many years. She even got me started on the piano, giving me the confidence that I could learn to accompany myself. I met her in the first church I attended after I was saved.In that little Pentecostal church we started a ministry to a Nursing Home where we sang and visited with the residents. We even knocked on doors in the neighborhood, and sometimes with success! She was so much fun to be around and had a great sense of humor.To my regret,we lost touch in the past few years because after a battle with a serious illness, Billie has gone home to be with the Lord, and even though I didn't get to say goodby I'll see her someday in heaven and get to sing with her again, and I'm sure that now she's up there tinkling on the ivories and singing duets with the angels!

I'm not sure, but I think maybe we were laughing at Darrel or at Stan's shoes! I've got to stop picking on that man! Billie used to tease Stan a lot and felt like she was almost a sister to him. Billie had a quick wit and Stan did too, so they were a good match to keep you laughing at any given time.
