Happy Birthday... Love is a touch, tender with care, A meaningful look, secrets to share...
Love is a mood, laughter or tears, Shared by two hearts that grow close through the years...
Love is a faith that dreams will come true... Love is wonderful.. Love is you.

Happy Birthday BettyJean,
We've been together a long time now. We've laughed and cried and seen each other through our best and worst and everything in between. And today, when I look at you,I feel even more love than I've ever felt before. We have a history together full of shared memories that keep us close. You are so much a part of me and a part of my happiness that it's impossible to imagine what life would have been like without you.You are my partner and my love, and I ask nothing more that to spend eternity with you.
Ronnie.
I love you and miss you.

Merry Christmas BettyJean,
Every year at Christmastime we seem to do more sharing, more reaching out, more holding close, more listening and caring.
Every year at Christmastime we seem to rediscover how small our big world really is, how much we need each other.
Being close to you has always meant a lot, but with each year that passes - it means even more.
Merry Christmas I love you and miss you, ALOT!

We have such fond memories of Betty Jean - her energy, her concrete acts of kindness, and her honesty. Because our family is so far away, it meant a lot when she would invite us to family celebrations. She even introduced us to Maryland crabs! Most important, Betty Jean loved her family and loved the Lord. She is an example for all of us.

Betty Jean;

I will always remember you volunteering your time to Ascension. You were the mom who always went on the field trips, the one who arranged the class parties, and helped out at church. You helped out whenever and where ever you were needed. You gave freely. Now freely receive from our Heavenly Father when He and many others welcome you home.

Darryl Schenk

May 18, 2011

Your unselfish love for others is dearly missed. You were always ready to help out when it was needed. Our hearts go out to Ron, Kevin, Keith, Kirsten and the extended family. Though you are physically gone, you live on in the hearts and minds of all of us that knew and loved you.

I’m all grown-up now. Married with children of my own. How much of my early life was spent with you, Ronnie, Kevin, Keith and Kirsten (my extended family). The family that rushed in when my dad passed away, the family I ran to when my brother passed away, the family I needed when I eventually lost my mom. How sad the world is without you, but how joyous is Heaven to welcome you home. I wish I could have seen the look on my mom’s face when she first saw you, her friend. The person she trusted beyond space and time with not only her friendship but her daughter. I hope that my life will mean as much to the people in my life. Loosing you – my heart skips a beat. My prayers for your family to help them through this. Love you, miss you Bettyjean, my family.

For the family for Keith
In the light of Mothers day... My prayers are with you all. I lost my mother and grandmother on Mothers day 15 years ago... May the following poem give you comfort in the times ahead.
A Mother's love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand...
God bless...
