All Condolences -

Though I never met you, I think of you daily. Though I only heard your voice I saw a beautiful, kind and loving soul. Though 82 years came and went, they were spent well, and continue to leave a happy memory we all cherish.... Your smile. For us, your life is not over, but simply changed. For he who bestows life carries it on for eternity. When I put your crocheted pillow forms together I saw such beautiful craftsmanship and as I lay my head down to sleep on it, I feel as if you are stroking my hair and humming me to sleep. You never left, you are here just in a different way. This is not good-bye, but simply a we will see one another soon. I love you and look forward to eternity where every tear we shed now will be wiped away from our eyes, for we WILL see one another face to face in the glory of God. Your great grandson, Christopher. <3

I never spent much time with my Aunt Betty as I lived in Canada. What I do remember is I loved to hear her laugh and she always had a sweet smile and spirit. My thoughts go out to the immediate family. Sorry I can't be there but my Mother (Lillian) and Sister will be attending.

I remember Betty fondly, from her visits with Betsey and Caroline up on Hedgehog while we lived there. May her soul rest in peace, may perpetual light shine upon her and may all who love her have peace and healing.

Betty was such a nice lady, my thoughts and prayers to her family
