So many fond memories of Aunt Betty. Although I haven't seen much of her the past few years, she was in my thoughts often. It is sad to lose so many in her generation. She was admired greatly.
Betty was a special person to Ernie and me and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her
Betty was such a big part of my life so long ago. My memories are precious to me. I'm sorry that our later years were so far apart and visits so few. I have loved and admired her so much. I will miss just knowing that she was there when I could see her.
My memories of Betty will always be vivid. She was a wonderful lady whose gentle and caring way warmed the hearts of all those that she knew. It was fitting that she had such a long career in healthcare.
The angels are rejoicing, but by human nature we were not ready to give Betty up. Sending our love to my cousins and wish we could be there with you.
We will miss you Aunt Betty. Our prayers are with the family. Love, Diane

I'm so sorry for your loss! I have lost so many members of my family. Losing loved ones is overwhelmingly painful. One thing that brings me some comfort is what the Bible says at Isaiah 25:8 "He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces." We look to God through Jesus and his Kingdom to do this. My wife and I hope you find comfort as you endure your loss.
