Billy E. Billings stated his wife has been sick for the past two years. On January 15, 2021, his wife became very ill and had to be hospitalized; the next day she was air lifted to University Hospital in New Orleans, and placed in the Intensive Care Unit. On February 14, 2021, the day after being transferred to Riverside Hospital in Alexander, she passed away. His grandchildren and great grandchildren had been checking his mail and putting it all on a table until he returned home. His daughter-in-law found the NOD, and called the office on his behalf to find out what needed to be completed. He does not know who signed for the NOD and the children didn't know that the letter was important as it was mixed in with the regular mail.
