Maurio, I am soooo sorry to hear about the loss of your mother Betty. I have very fond memories of her when we were kids and I used to visit your house after school. She was a very sweet lady who loved her "boys" very much. I had the pleasure of seeing her at church one Sunday and she was the same person that I had known from when I was a little girl.
I know that you will miss her very much, just know that she/and your big brother Dee are looking over you and Mike.
May God continue to bless you at this most difficult time.

God sought out Betty and she diverted her pain for just enough time to allow God to take her home.
Mrs. Macklin the Conaway family sends there dearest and sincere sympathy to you and your family on the home going of your sister. Maliek wishes you strength and offers his prayers to you.
Kyle & I offer prayers and encouragement during your time of grief. Mrs. Betty often teased me during my pregnancy that I was having twins. When I gave birth to my precious daughter she was able to see her. The day we came back to church Mrs. Betty teased and asked me "where is the other one?".....
Thru your works and faith, allow your faith to carry you beyond this moment. God gave her just enough strength to recover from Cancer to get the family ready for her departure. God has his reasons and although you and other members of your family may not have done, said or loved her the way they wanted to prior her departure, I'm sure in her crossing she knew exactly how each of your felt.
Continue to trust God and he'll bring you through.
Much Love,

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

There are times when no matter how hard we may try, the best things in life seem to pass us by, yet even when we do not understand why, we can trust in the goodness of God.
I wish you deep heartfelt serenity, love and courage along with peace that only God can bring. So when you are feeling confused or afraid, rest in His warm, loving care.

My deepest sympathy to the family. When I lived in the West End as Betty's neighbor she treated my son Trey like her own child. I will be forever grateful to her for that and will truly miss her. Michael if there is anything Trey and I can do for you we will do. God Bless and keep you.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Betty Jean Boyd Rogers. May God’s mercy grant you peace and comfort during your time of loss. Remember to always look to the Father, for he will never forsake you. May beautiful memories give you strength at this difficult time.
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
