To Paula, Joelle, Mark, Scott and families,
We send our sympathy and love at this bittersweet time. What a wonderful day to arrive in heaven! God planned this for Betty, knowing she was tired and in pain and took her home on Jesus’ birthday, so she could sing and rejoice with the angels. She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. She was a kind, loving and generous person. Her faith in God made her light up a room. She loved you all so very much and was so pleased to share in your lives. Although we didn’t have the opportunity to see Betty very often, each visit was a treasure in which her faith and love shined. We loved her and we will miss her. God bless all of you .
Paula, I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful mother. From the remarks written about her, I can see that you inherited her kind and loving nature. My prayers for you and your whole family.
Very Sincerely,
Sheilah “C”
So sorry for your loss. Cousin Betty was a wonderful woman. She will be missed. May her memory be eternal.
Aunt Betty was such a special person and was so much more than an aunt to me. I loved her like a mother. She was the kindest and sweetest person that I ever met. Although I will miss her dearly, I am comforted by her being in Heaven with my father, her brother.
My deepest condolences go to Joelle, Paula, Scott, Mark and their families.
To Paula, Joelle, Mark, Scott and Family:
We send our sympathy and love to you all. Betty was my only girl cousin but more like my sister. The memories from children to adult over the years are so wonderful and vivid, as we grew up together (Betty, Herb, Gerry, Donnie) always with love. I will forever see her smile and feel her hugs.

My Mom just let me know that your Mom had passed on Christmas. I am so sorry for your loss. I have always adored your Mom. She was always so kind and welcoming to me. We have corresponded at Christmas for years and I always enjoyed hearing her family update. I will miss those letters and will never forget her. I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to her funeral. My thoughts, prayers, and love are with you all.
Many memories of cousin Betty, She will be missed.
Love you cousin Kenny.
