You will be missed by all. Hope you are celebrating with angles and your Mr. and our Father in heaven. Peace to your family and friends. Love you Billie Jean.
I know Billie Jean can not be happier than now, because she’s reunited with Bobby. We will all miss her down here on earth. But someday we will see her again. She will be happy and healthy with all her family and friends. So let us rejoice in her love that she showed for so many and remember her not with tears, but celebrate the time she shared with us.
Billy Jean you will be missed here but enjoy your party in heaven with bobby and randy.

She will be missed. We will see her again in the future in heaven with God. She is happy now where she united with her other family members that had departed. Mary &tt korner said it best she is unitied wth her husband “Bobby”
One of the saddest moments is when you hear of the loss of a friend. Billie and I lived near each other and went to school with each other for many years. I am fortunate to have counted her among my friends.
Angela and family, I am keeping you in my prayers as you go through this difficult time. I remember meeting your mom when she came to PTA at Parkview years ago. Then later it was my pleasure to know her when she attended our GCREA meetings after her retirement from the Gwinnett County Public Schools Dept. of Transportation. Sending you my heartfelt sympathy.
Pam and Angela. I’m so very sorry for your loss!! One incredible Mother who loved you both are your family with all of her heart!! She is now at peace and looking down on y’all!
Heaven truly just received another angel.
My Aunt Billie Jean has been a God Send of Spiritual Support regarding Our Ray Family Reunion. Billie always spoke words of encouragement. She was Happy that the Ray Family started to hold an Annual Reunion. On Saturday September 20, The Reunion was started as scheduled. The first step was to make an announcement regarding Billie Jean’s passing, which was followed by Family Prayer. Aunt Billie Jean, “We Miss You” Love,, Jeff and Sue
