Dear Joe,
I am deeply sorry to hear of the loss of Betty. In the limited amount of time I spent with the two of you, it was easy to see that you were both wonderful people. Know that Betty is in a better place now and that she is being well taken care of, and that when the time is right you will be together again. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you and your family.

Dear Joe & family,
I worked with Betty at the pharmacy, and also saw you both often at the 60 West Ukrop's before it closed, as I worked there for many years as well. I was shocked to hear of Betty's sudden passing and my heart goes out to you and your family. Betty was a very sweet, genuine person and will be missed by many. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you cope with this great loss.

Dear Joe and family:
Betty taught Sunday school with me at Elkhardt and this turned into a blessed friendship. Everytime I saw her we caught up on our families. I will truly miss her and I know she is in the arms of God. Joe, we are here for you in anything you need.

Dear Joe, Michael and stephen, I am sadden for your loss and pray that God is being your comfort as He promises us He will be at these times. I had the great pleasure of spending time talking with Aunt Betty when I came up there the last time. We talked about everything and I am so blessed to have had that time with her. She will always be in my memory and heart as she is very much intertwinned in all my childhood memories. It was so clear to me as I visited with her last year that she was a women of God, full of the gentleness of His Spirit and driven by His purpose. It is easy to look back over her life and see that she lived a full and righteous life for her Lord. What a great blesssing it is to me to have had her for my aunt. Take care and may God bless and keep your family in His peace. Love, Dana
