Randy... I was so sorry to read of your mother's passing. I have many fond memories of her and Jane Brown. They really helped me when I first came to Helena. She and your Dad were always happy people. I would imagine they will keep things lively up there. I'm sorry I was out of town and
couldn't attend her service. Take care and if I can ever be of help, please let me know. My prayers are with you.

My late husband and I always enjoyed visiting with your mom and dad at King's Landing. They would laugh when we go out to fish as we had 3 very loud kids in the boat, but we always caught fish and your parents would say that the fish jumped in the boat because of all the noise and they (the fish) wanted peace and quiet. Praying for you during this time, and pray that God will comfort you.

When I was very young Mrs. Miller lived by us. I remember visiting her & have such fond memories. I always wished she was my grandmother. Of course knowing her I knew Bettye Jo. She was always smiling & happy. Have not seen her in years, but wanted her family to know how sad I am for your loss. May God bless each of you at this sad time.

The hardest part of growing old is saying goodbye to lifelong friends. Can't ever remember not knowing Betty Jo. Her raucous sense of humor and her joy of living were her chief assets. Her house was always the one where we could gather to eat, dance, laugh, or whatever. You will be missed,my friend.
