Dear Walter and Kenny,

It's so sad to lose your mother and my heart goes out to each of you. Please ponder on the many good memories. We never lose that bonding of the minds with them even though they are absent from us in this life. And more importantly, life continues on, and your life can be more useful if lived to the fullest in gratitude to her for having been your mother. This is a truth revealed to me after my mom had entered into glory. So love people, do good as often as possible, and love God with your whole heart, soul, and mind.

My love to you both,

Margaret (Barton) Taylor

Walter (Papa), Kristel and Big Kenny

We want to let you know that we love you all very much and we will miss Grandma Betty always. She was a wonderful person and never showed us anything but love and kindness. She meant the world to us and will remain in our hearts forever.

Candace was telling me yesterday of how she loved spending time with her because she always let them do what they wanted and made Papa fix things for them. She also loved that Grandma would let her look at her jewelry and wear it around the house while she was there.

Christopher still talks about geting to play with and feed the squirrel. She was an amazing woman and we know that she will be in Heaven watching out for all of us.

We love you all and let us know if you need anything.

Love,
Kim, Christopher and Candace

Walter, Kenny & family I know what you are going through and it is really a hard thing but it will get easier as time goes by. I have a lot of good memories of her when I was growing up. I will never forget her. She was a great Aunt and I know she is in a good place now,with no more pain and she will be watching down on us all.

Walter,Kenny and Family,
We know the next few days will be very hard to belive and even harder to go through. Just know that she is at home and safe from all things. No more pain or sickness. Betty was a good mom and a great sister-in-law.
I will never forget the trip we went on to Kentucky with Dottie. Your mom was so scared to fly. We laughed all day at the things she said and did while flying. When we landed she was about to kiss the ground. She will be missed alot.
May God Bless and Keep you all safe.
Love always,
Uncle Doug and Aunt Ginny

Walter, Kenny, Crystal and family. I know what yall are going through. Take it a day at a time. I know its hard to believe now but things will ease up. Just know she's in a new body now and no longer has any pain and suffering. I lost a great aunt when she left us. I remember she used to smell my figures to see if I had been smoking. I have so many memories of her. This is what yall need to hold onto to, are the memories, When you find a coin on the ground, know its her throwing them down from heaven to you to let you know where she is. On the streets of gold.
