I know how it hurts to lose a parent. May God give you peace that passes all understanding and help you through the days ahead.

To Clifford,Ron,Debbie and all of Betty's cherished grandchildren, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I have the fondest memories growing up. They all include ice skating on the old pond in the winter time (the same pond I learned to swim in), loading so many of us kids into vehicles to take us all sledding, playing pool in the old basement, everyone gathering around the bonfire playing their guitars and singing, and having sleepovers for the entire family. The best memories I have are of Betty always finding ways to make every one of us smile. She always had a way of making everyone feel "at home" while visiting and we never had a dull moment while in her presence. She loved her family and friends so much! Although I am comforted knowing that she is at peace, I will miss her very much. I am thankful for so many wonderful memories that Betty has left me with. I love you Betty Sue.

Clifford, Ron, Debbie and family. I know how very much Betty meant to each and every one of you. What is more important ,she also knew how very much you all loved her. She left each of you with a special loving memory that will be your strong strength in this very difficult time. I have asked that God place a hedge of comfort and peace around each one of you. I love you all very much. Dayle Bonnell
