Hi Grammi, I'm a few days late, it's been busy, but Happy Heavenly Birthday. I miss you so much. I miss the talks we used to have and the advice you would give me. If I didn't tell you, but I'm sure I did many times. Thank you again for being there for me when the kids and I moved to Jersey. You helped me through so much and I think the kids were very blessed to be able to spend the time with you that they did getting to know you and love you the way I did. You were my angel and savior. You were such a sweet, caring and giving soul and I learned so much from you. I have yours, G'mom Beats and G'mom Laura's pics where I can see them every day. I talk to my grandkids about you all and about all of the stuff you used to do with us growing up when we'd spend the summers with you. We always had a lot of fun. Well, until we meet again. I love you. I pray I see you in my dreams. Love Traci-Poo

Gram, I miss you everyday. Raki and I talk about how nuturing and loving you always were to us. You were always our Angel and we were so lucky to have you. Our home was filled with love and all the kids in the neighborhood loved and respected you. You gave me so much and taught me about being a young lady with grace. Forever in my heart. I love you. See you in my dreams. Until we see each other again. Kiss everybody and tell them we miss them

❤️Always Terri

Grandmom Billie,

I think of you often, and Ayanna and I reminisce about the good times we had on Walnut Street. You were a very loving and caring grandmother, whom everyone admired and adored. You raised wonderful children, and had a hand in raising some wonderful grandchildren and great grandchildren. You will always be missed!

Love, Kima

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMMI. I miss you so much. I know you and G'mom Beats are watching at us and looking at all these babies down here. They are growing so fast. Amir is about to be 8, Skye will be 7 soon. Geesh, time flies! I'm hoping to go visit KJ, Bebe and my babies soon. They live in Washington State now. Iyana and Jon Michael are doing well and the little Lilo (Arlo) is getting so big. Momi takes care of him during the day...can you believe it? I never thought I'd see the day...LOL. She says she enjoys it though. He is a good baby and easy to take care of. Before you know it that little monster will be walking and talking. Well, I love you to the moon and back. I can't wait until the day I can see you again. Tell everyone I said "Hi" and I love them.Traci-poo

Hi Grammy. It's hard to believe it's been 14 years. Time goes so fast. Well, I'm sure Uncle Tory is there with you by now. He passed away on Tuesday. Aunt Bobbi is having a hard time wrapping her head around it, but I'm praying that God give her the strength she needs to get through this. You on the other hand, I think of you all the time. I even say some of the things you used to say to us, to my g'children...lol, like, "did you wash your hands yesterday" and I'm going to hit you in your helldammit...lol. My kids just look at me and shake their heads. You would spoil these babies rotten if you were still here. You and G'mom Beats. I so wish they could have known you. I tell them about y'all all the time and show them your picture. Well let me go. I miss you so much, but you are always in my heart. Please give Uncle Tory and and everyone a kiss for me. Love you to pieces. Traci-Poo

Hey Grammy. Gosh, I can't believe it's been 14 years since you left. I miss you sooooo much. But you and G'mom Beats are always right there watching us. The family is still growing in every sense of the word. Iyana just got married last year to the sweetest, most caring young man. He loves her and Sanai so much. The wedding was beautiful. I'm sure you saw it. I felt you there. She is pregnant now and due on August 1st of all days...LOL. KJ and his wife Bebe has a beautiful baby girl last year, June 10th. Ayah. She is 7 months old and just as cute as she can be. All the other lil monsters are growing up so fast. My babies. Can't imagine life without them. I tell them about you and g'mom. I so wish they had the opportunity to meet you, but that's life. One day though they will get to see you. In the mean time. Just know that I am always thinking of you. Come and visit me. I'd love to talk to you. Love you to the moon and back. Trae

Grammi, I miss you so much. I can't believe I forgot to come and visit you and talk to you on your birthday this year. There is a lot going on. G'kids growing up, children getting married another baby coming soon and then there is just life in general. I so wish I could just see you right now and talk to you the way I used to. It's so funny how I say a lot of the things you used to say to us and the kids when we were coming up. My kids always laugh at me when I do. So guess what. Iyana is getting married this year in September. His name is Jon Michael and you would LOVE HIM Grammi. He really loves her and Sanai and takes great care of them. I think he'll be around for some time :-) I knew he was the one the first time I met him. Kris is almost done with school. She's getting her EMT certification. Remember when Peanut and Kris used to tell you they wanted to work in the hospital taking care of babies or doing something pertaining to Medical? Well they are both doing just that. So proud of both of them, you would be too. KJ is getting ready to go back in to the Army. He had to get out on general leave for a little bit to let a injury he got in Basic Training heal. He is a great husband, awesome father and a wonderful person all around. He has grown into such a great young man. Makes a mama proud. I so wish you could see all these g'babies. You wouldn't be able to get enough of them and they would surely smother you with all of their kisses and hugs....LOL.
Well that's it for today Grammi. I love you and will see you soon. I keep yours and G'mom Beats pictures in a special place so I can see you everyday. Love you to the moon and back. Trae

I miss you, Grandmom Billie! I think about all the funny things you used to say, like when you used to tell the boys “I got my eyeball on you” to let them know you were watching. We had a lot of nice gatherings at your house on Walnut Street. I hope you are well, I’m sure you’re somewhere taking care of people, like you have always done. Come see me sometimes...love you!

Your great-granddaughter,

Grammi, I miss you so much. I missed leaving you a message on your birthday so I'll say happy belated. The kids and I talk about you often and I even talk to your picture every once in a while when I get lonely and need someone to talk to. I could always talk to you and you gave great advice. I miss your hugs, but I think I can feel you giving me a hug every so often :-) I can't wait to see you again, until then. I love you and will be waiting to see you in my dreams. Love always, Traci-Poo

Hi Gram,
I think about you all the time and how much of a lady you were. All the things that I learned about being a "Lady" I learned from you and your love. Charm School, tea parties with you and all the beautiful dresses that you and Momi put on me, even though I was a tomboy. I miss you so much and wish I could talk to you, I was blessed to have you 55 years of my life. I'll be seeing you in my dreams. Loving you and missing you always.

Happy birthday Grandmom Billie! I miss visiting you on Walnut St. You always asking us if we want something to eat. For as long as I can remember, you were always taking care of people, even people not in your family. Now you have someone taking care of you. I hope to see you again. I love you Grandmom!

Happy Birthday Grandmom! You are loved and missed everyday. Your house makes me think of the good ol days, and playing with Yanna. Walkin down the street to the corner store to buy a bag of penny candy. I miss all the hugs and love you have us. I can still hear you telling Rabon "I got my eyeballs on you!" Cause he was always into something. I miss those days and really miss you! Loving you always.

My dear cousin Billie. You have continued to be a huge inspiration for
me. My memory serves to take me back to my life's beginning in Greenville, South Carolina, where without knowing, just your vibrant presence, your soft voice, your deep warm smile, your God given beauty made me feel special for you being part of our great family.

Grammy

July 18, 2012
by Traci Morton

Grammy is what I would call her. She was a beautiful soul inside and out. She welcome myself and her three great grandchildren into her home when my ex-husband and I separated. It allowed me to go back to school and get a good paying job afterwards. I actually think that was a blessing in disguise because in moving to Camden, it allowed my children to get to know their great g'mom the way I knew her.  A warm, funny, loving, giving, sharing, patient human being with a lot of love to give. KJ became her shadow always wanted to be with g'mom Billie. He'd be upset with me after being fussed at and ask if he could go over to g'mom Billie's house. We lived right next door so the kids stayed with her after school most days. They'd walk around the block in the evenings with g'mom or help her cook or whatever she needed help with they would help. Especially KJ.
Grammy (and Aunt Rachel before she passed) taught me how to be a proper young lady. Aunt Rachel used to teach me how to play the piano. Grammy taught me patience. One of the most important things you can have. I watched how she was with the clients she kept in her home. Some were good, some not so good, but she still had patience. Everyone, especially the children on the block loved
Grammy. She used to have the street blocked off sometimes in the summer and have a small block party for the children. They loved it.
Grammy was a woman of virtue, integrity, love, kindness, patience, understanding...basically any word you can find to describe someone that loved to help and care for people was Grammy. We all love and miss you Grammy and I know you are up there watching us. And I'm sure everytime one of us does something crazy you're saying, "I'm going to hit them in their hell dammit"!

Love you Grammy,
Trae

I will always remember the love that Grsm always had for our family.  She was there when we needed her and was always teaching me something about being a young lady with class.  She called me her shadow because I went everywhere she went.  She took me to my first ball which was an Eastern Star Event.  I remember wearing my 1st high heels and nylons.  She was prissy, smart, giving, loving and a beautiful person.  I miss her and will forever love her.
