Loretta, Judy and Jim,
I am deeply saddened by Betty's passing and sincerely express my deepest sympathy to all of your family. Betty was a kind person. We met years ago on long distance phone chats and I found her to be charming and loving during our conversations. I have certain things she has said to me that really have altered me as a woman. I had great admiration for her intense drive during her career days. I know this is a very hard time for all of you. I do want you to know I added her to our prayer chain when she became ill and she has been on it for over 2 years now. I personally prayed intently for her as I know she is at peace and in the arms of our most loving God. If there is anything I can do to make this time easier, please don't hesitate to call. Loss is such a terrible time in our life but knowing Betty and the times we have talked privately, I know she would want you to celebrate her life both the one she had here on earth and the one which now restores her to whole.
again, my sincerest condolences,
love, Kathie Hardy, Kris and Lindsay Wood
