I am sorry for the pain and loss you are experiencing at this time. Your mom, like mine, was a special soul and we both have been so blessed to have had them in our lives. I could see from the video your mom lived a life filled with lots of joy, blessings and love. You have lots of wonderful memories that I pray will bring you peace, comfort and in time joy as you remember your times with her.
Love and Prayers to you and your family.

I enjoyed visiting with Betty when she was a resident at Autumn Manor. She was so interested in others and was such a giving person. I'm thankful that God has prepared her for wonderful times in heaven with family and friends - in the presence of our Lord.

Betty was a special person, not because she was family but because she had a genuine interest and concern for others. She was loved not only as a relative but also as a friend. Her smiling face will be missed.
