We are very sorry that you lost your mother. You will always miss her. I know she was a good mother, and always there for you. You can still cherish your memories of her. She was a good sister too. I have many happy memories of her. As I was growing up, I remember so well how she use to clean the house every friday afternoon. It literally sparkled and smelled so fresh and clean. I will miss her too.

We send our sympathy and prayers…and letting you know our heart goes out to you and your family at this time of saddness. With deepest sympathy,

When one of our loved ones go home to be with our God and Creator we are very hurt and sad. However, knowing Betty I am sure she would want us to be happy, She was that type of sister-in-law. She leaves us with so many good memories of the wonderful times spent together and the love she had for all, no matter the situation. We were blessed by her and that sweet attitude just overflowed to all. Hold that memory in your hearts forever. She was great Mother and sister, we will always love her.
Susie, We will miss ‘Miss Betty’ across the hall. She was such a sweet angel here on earth. My heart is with you.

Tracy, Steven, Susie,
I am sorry for the loss of Betty. I will always remember her smile and her joyful personality. I won’t forget ‘running away’ from home and coming to stay with you. She would take me shopping to buy cosmetics and we would put on ‘red’ lipstick and fingernail polish. I had such a good time with her. She is now at a better place and does not have to suffer.
Love, Becky

Larry and I both are so very sorry for the loss of your sweet momma. Betty was truely a wonderful mother and friend. I don’t think she knew a stranger and was so kind to everyone she meet. I loved her artificial flowers she always had in her planters out front. I feel very lucky to have known her for so long! May God give you all the strength to make it thru today! I love you all, Noreen

Dear Susie,
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I can remember going to your house for slumber parties growing up and your mom was always so good to me. She was truly a wonderful person who I will never forget. To loose your mother is also to loose your Best Friend…may your memories sustain you through this difficult time
Sincerely,
Kathy
