    Billye has been so special in our lives. She always advised us on what plants to get and kept Fred in gardening supplies. We will always rememer the beautiful geraniums and ferns she helped us choose as well as Fred's tomato plants & other garden plants. We also had many good visits with her and the two Glenns. Our love and thoughts go out to the family.
