“If I can help somebody”….the song she sang, the life she led! What a great example of Loving the Lord with all your heart Ms. Betty lived before us. Don and I will always remember the joyful uplifting visits we had with her. The sweet phone conversations I was blessed to be a part of. We loved her dearly. The sweet family she shared with us and the talent she and your Daddy nurtured within the family. What rejoicing she is experiencing! I know the loss is painful, but the joy of knowing you will see her again, in the presences of our Heavenly Father, comforts you in a mighty way. We will be praying for all of your family. Dianna, Please know how much you are Loved.
