Billie,
Our deepest condolences to you and your family at the loss of your dear mother. It is so difficult to lose your Mama but we know that our loss is heaven's gain. What a promise and assurance that we have knowing that soon we will see our loved ones.

"But Until Then my (our) heart will go on singing, until then with joy I'll (we'll) carry on; Until the day my (our)eyes behold that city, Until the Day He calls me (us) home."

Please know that you and Ron and family are in our prayers

Mama Keeling was a loving and adoreable lady, and quite the character!  A gene she passed on to her daughter.  She was one of a few remaining souls that still called me "Danny Boy".  I didn't get to see her much in the last couple of decades but everytime I did she hugged me and said "Danny Boy how are you honey?"  What else would I want her to call me?  She still saw me as one of her boys and she will always be my Mama Keeling.  Billie, Sarah and I share in your sadness in missing her, and we share in your rejoicing that she is now at home and at rest.  We love you.

Dear Billie, I just found out about your mom today. I am so sorry. Know that you and your family are close in my heart and prayers. I will also add you to our Wednesday night prayer list. My mother-in-law is down the hall at Garden Park.                                                                 Love In Christ, Sharon Allen

Thank you Mama Keeling - you were such an inspiration in our lives and the lives of our daughters.  You and Pappy were instrumental in our spiritual growth.  Thanks to you Carlos is now pastoring a mission church under Calvary Baptist in Shreveport.  We are going into our fourth year.  It is an Hispanic Mission and I know that would please you as you traveled on trips to Mexico and we learned from you to be missionaries.  We have traveled to  Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico, El Salvador,  and soon going to Laredo, Mexico.  We have seen many come to Christ.  Thank you for all you did for us.  We will see you on the other side on that special day..  We love you

My Dear Sweet Mama,
It was so hard  to say good-bye to you yesterday. I will miss you so much. I just want to say it has been my privilege to serve you these past 5 years. There is no ministry like ministering to your Mother..no greater reward. I will so miss our precious times together...our "spa" days, the manicures and pedicures, our afternoon cookies, our talks together, the days we "cut up" and laughed together. I am finding out that I am more like you everyday. What an honor. I cannot follow in your footsteps, or fill your shoes, that is an impossibility...but I will do my best to live my life the way you and Papa taught me. 

You have received your just reward and your crown of life. I wonder what you are doing in heaven today? All your pain and sorrow is passed away. Wonder what beautiful sights you are seeing...who you are visiting with...are you gathered around the throne of God...beholding his beauty and worshipping Him? When I am sad and miss you...I will think of that....what are you and Pappy doing in heaven today.

Rest in peace Mom...you were a great Mom and you will always be in my heart and mind.

Billie

My Dear Sweet Mother,
It was so hard to say good bye to you yesterday...but I know it won't be long until we meet you in the air. 

It has been my honor and my privilege to serve you these past5 years. It has been the greatest ministry that I have ever been a part of. I will miss our "spa" days, the manicures and pedicures, I will miss our afternoon coffee and cookies, I will miss our talks we shared, the hugs, and the "cutting up" we did together. I have discovered that I'm more like you everyday...what an honor!

I am so glad you awoke this morning to no more pain and suffering...healed and whole. I wonder what you and Pappy are doing in heaven today? When I start feeling sad, that's what I think about...wonder what you are doing in heaven today. What gorgeous sights are you seeing, who are you visiting with, are you around the throne of God worshipping with all those who have gone before you? Whatever it is...I'm so happy you are at peace.

You will always be in my heart...I love you Mama.

Billie

Dear Billie Ruth and Ron, I missed finding out on time to attend, I am so sorry.  Just got a call from someone to night who informed me.  Billie I truly love you and Ron and your parents.  I know God will be with you in such a special way, He is so faithful to His children.  I too know what it is like to say goodby to a wonderful mother.  But, we don't have to see them sick any longer, they are healed in the presents of our God.

She was a sweet mama to us all!  Everyone she meet no matter if she only saw them one time of many.

Your in our prayers

Billie, Esther and I, will always consider your Mother as well as your Father also, to be two individuals who have had a positive influence in our lives.  For me, they were always like A Mom and Dad away from home and I loved them as such.  One of my fondest memories is the tenderness, respect, and great love your Father always displayed toward you Mother at all times.  I can only imagine the twinkle of joy in your Dad's eyes as he watched your precious Mother walk through the Gates of Glory.  It was always difficult for me to see one without thanking of the other, as  they were that close.  Now that is no longer a problem.  She was a great and wonderful Lady.  We will Love You and Ronnie as well as Tommy and Todd.  All of you will always be a part of our family.

Billie, 
Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Please remember that your mom was the greatest to me and will surely be missed. 
Love You,

Mamma was true to her name.  She was loved by our family dearly and she spoke into each and everyone of our children's lives.  We love her and will miss her, and I know she is really "cutting up" for the Lord and before the Lord in heaven with all the saints.

With much love,
James, Barbara, April, Joshua, Benjamin and Lydia Ford
