To the Langham/Colvard Family, We were so sorry to hear of Billie's passing. She was one of my favorite cousins and we always enjoyed visiting with her and her sister on the happenstance meetings at the Western Sizzlin in Poteau. She was a sweet lady and will be missed by loved one and friends alike. Our deepest sympathy goes out to you all at this time of loss and sadness. I am sure by now that Billie and Bobbie are "catching up" on things. Rest in Peace dear Cousin. Steve and Debbie Dowell

We are sad to see this fine lady we were privileged to love and be loved by, leave this earth and our presence. Heaven rejoices though! Her elegance and gental kindness, her smile and generosity are a few of the things that remain etched in our hearts. Kendall loved her sermon notes! She encouraged him so much. Our kids were influenced by her in a positive way too. They were sad to hear and send their love. Hopefully Kendra will be able to be at the funeral for us, as we all wish we could be there. Hugs and prayers until we meet again...here,there,or in the air! And as Kendall says yee-hah!

I was introduced to Billie when I was 8 or 10 by my mother.She lived with us for a while. Billie was engaged to a church friend Bruce Langham and moved in with us for a while before their wedding. Billie and Reva Gage, my mother, became best friends. I can see them cooking in the kitchen laughing and talking about Billie's day at work. They always had that friendship no matter how long they were apart, they would just pick up like they saw each other yesterday. I loved listening to them. What a blessing she has been through the years with her steadfast example of christian values. We have loved her, her kids and grandkids. Now I can say to the kids, She was so proud of you all. We will have to learn to live in a world without Billie. We can be happy, that she is happy but we will miss her so very much. Psalms 31:24 says, Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in the LORD.
