My daughter will be greatly missed by many. She was a loving daughter, my best friend and confidant who brought me much joy and laughter. I will miss her daily phone calls, visits, and smiling face; but most of all her hugs. She was devoted to her family and would do her best to help if anyone needed her. She enjoyed cooking, playing app games, social media, and loving on her support dogs, Taz, Slinky, and little Tiny. Billi-Jo is survived by the light of her life, her daughter Anna M.
