I remember Betty JO from smith & Wesson,i worked with her for a long time, she was a great person to know, always funny and very personable,we used to hunt near her place in Huntington, and sometimes she would be at the store near her house and she always made us laugh, even when we hunted all day and did not get anything. she will be missed.

With our deepest sympathy your recent loss. When words fail, Gods love carries us through our deepest sorrows. May you find comfort in the words at Luke 20:37,38, " He is not a God of the dead, but of the living, for they are all living to him.

I am so sorry for your great loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. (Isaiah 61:1,2) With heartfelt sympathy.
