My sympathies go out to all of the Houck family for the death of one of Billie Jean's children. Billie Jean and I were good friends when we were going to school in Indianola, Iowa, in late 30s & early 40s. God Bless!

I have so many fond memories of you throughout my life - you always made me laugh and provided sound advice - thank you for always being accessible to me and my friends. I'm blessed that my mom and you were friends before I even existed. Much love, Jessica
