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.
Oh what awesome memories I have of Indian Bay when I think of your parents! May God be with you during these difficult times.
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.
Miranda,
Momma and I were so sad to see Mrs. Betty Jo's obituary in the paper this morning. She and I both have such happy memories of her. She was always someone you could count on to love you no matter what. She will live forever in our hearts and memories.
Love ya,
Lisa and Lou Henard

Dear Sweet Miranda,
This family loves you, and how heart is with you all the way. I want to be there and do things for you if you will let me and tell me when, where and what to do. I know your Mother was an angel here on earth, so know she is smiling down on her beautiful daughter with no pain, and pride. Please call me when you feel like it.
Miranda,
I am sorry to hear about Bettye Jo's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Our parents are all in heaven now laughing and having fun together. Take care of yourself.
So sorry about your mom, Randy,. We go back a long time. She always seems so happy. I know this is a sad time in your life.I pray God will comfort you now.
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.
