We were both so glad to be there with Cheryl and Linda the last few days before Aunt Betty passed. To be at her bedside, talking to her and sharing the memories of past times being with her. We laughed and we cried, but we both know that she is in a much better place and we look forward to the day when we can see her and embrace her again in heaven. We love you and will miss you Aunt Betty. Much love, Nels and Brenda

Dear Family,
I was sorry to read in the paper about Betty's
passing. I have very fond memories of us
growing up and playing together. After growing
up the miles separated us but she was thought
of often. May God comfort you during this
sad time. Sending our love and prayers !!!
