I met this beautiful lady a Curves and was inspired by her presents. She someone everyone would want to be at an age when it should not matter. Washing her own windows inside and out What a blessing she was to her family and friends. What an inspiration she was to me. God Bless you Billie Dilliman.

I only got to know Billie toward the end of her long life, and I will hold those memories forever close to my heart. This woman loved her family more than life itself and would share little tid bits of her life with me. I am Thankful that she trusted me to be her Hospice nurse and hope that I made her passing peaceful. My Condolences to the entire Dillman Clan. She was an amazing Lady. God rest your soul Wilma......

Aunt Billie. Was very special to me. Even with all her many children she opened her home for my wedding reception, spur of the moment panic, when it was rained out at the park many years ago. I never ever forgot that. I’m sure she has many crowns in heaven for raising all those children, always a smile on her face and never a complaint heard from her, beautiful role model.

I haven’t seen your mother in years but reading of her passing just reminds me how much our lives were connected through St. John’s the Evangelist school . She raised her children with Linda leading the way. You are so fortunate to have had her with you for 92 years. I know she is missed.
