We are so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Aunt Betty with Love. Dad’s face used to light up when she drove in the driveway and he Loved to tell us that she made chicken and dumplings that tasted just like his mothers. She would always send him home with a quart jar full. I know that she and Dad are free of pain and watching over us from Heaven. Love, Lisa & Glen
Dear Richard and Pat, Just a short note to thank you for allowing us to handle the service for your mother. Please call me anytime if I may be of further service.
Betty is going to be greatly missed not only was she part of my family, but it was with great pleasure my children were able to meet her and spend time with her. She will always remain in our hearts. We love and will miss her greatly. Michelle Alek Danielle The Broken Chain Submitted by: litlebakergrl Author: Ron Tranmer We little knew that day, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.
Have fond memories of Betty.She was a great lady.May the good Lord console you at this time.
So sorry for your lost. You are all in my prayers and heart. Love you so much Misty. We all know that grandma will watch over us now.
All my Love to you and your family, now and always. May the Lord guide you through your time of sorrow.
Sorry for your loss, sweetie. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Thank you, God for Aunt Betty and her dear children, Richard and Pat for caring for us and taking us in when my mother, Doris had no place to turn. I am thankful for all you have done for my brothers and me. God always sends angels to watch over His children. I know God is watching over you now with his loving arms. I love you and miss you dearly, Aunt Betty. With all my love, hugs, and kisses, Cheryl Ann
