Billie was one in a zillion! There is not one person no matter of race, sexual preference or anyone who met her who will ever forget her, she was loved by many! She knew and loved everyone regardless of economic status or national origin. God got a very special angel when she opened the gates to Heaven. Not only did she join many others whom she loved, but now God has his hands full!!
Billie lived on this earth for over 100 years; she taught people so many wonderful things about how special life truly is. God has his hands full now!!! Billie is at total peace now and God opened his hands and took her home. Thank him for not letting her suffer like many do. Her body just wore out and it was her time. We will never forget meeting Billie. She was very special to all of us! She opened her heart and accepted us for us.
Billie leaves behind numerous friends and extended family, but most of all; she leaves behind her devoted son, Richard Gardner. Billie is preceded in death by her young daughter, Denise, "There is the time God needs a special Angel for one reason or another and that is why he took her so young," and her son, Martin Gardner. Billie is also preceded in death by her husband, Paul Engelhardt.
