Ms Betty I still can’t belive that you have left your Earthly home for your Heavenly home. I just knew you would make it to 100. I will miss talking to you so much. You were the sweetest little lady and I loved you dearly. I continued to love you even after you kicked me out of swimming lessons when I wouldn’t listen.
Dear David , Brenda and Family,
Betty and Charles were in Rev. Don’s Sunday School class with me. She was such a delightful and sweet lady. I loved getting hugs from her . My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sheila, I am so sad for you in the loss of your mother. Moms hold a special place in our daughter-hearts, and it is a hard time when they must leave us. Please know you are being held close in thought and prayer during this time. My condolences to your family.
I just wanted to say that my thoughts and prayers are with you all . Betty was a wonderful lady and I will always miss seeing her at Calvary .
There’s not enough room In this message box or time to write and reminisce of all the things I would like to say. Almost all my life have been your neighbor. Having great neighbors is a blessing and we were blessed. Close enough to feel more like family. The years have gone by fast and even with change and separation of us as being neighbors; I will always have a bond in heart from our special time together. Your mom treated me like a son and the loss is great but we will meet again. Patty, this is Paul but this is not all, (hope you understand this, believe you will) this sentiment is from my family as well to all of you.
David and Brenda……Betty and I are very sorry for your loss. I had the fortune of meeting David’s mother a couple of times. she was a special person who led a wonderful and long life. She was loved and attended to by David. He checked on her every week. It is sad she is now gone to a better place, but she will be with lots of friends. I know the sadness that you feel now, but let your faith in God and memories of mom keep you comforted. We wish we could be there with you at this time. Please know that you are special friends to us and we feel your pain and your joy. We are here if and when you wish to talk.
