Kim,
When Sheryl told me of your mom's passing, my heart went out to you. It is always painful to lose someone you love, especially a mother. She had to have been a wonderful, sweet person to have produced a lovely daughter like you. You and your family have my deepest sympathy.

To the Ball family:
I loved your mother like a sister. She was always very pleasant to be around. She would even have me over for lunch when she retired from NASA, for a bologna sandwhich which I loved for her to make. I didn't know Betty was that sick. I knew that she had some problems but she never talked about them when we were together. I could just tell. Well just know that we had some good times together for she was like me - loved to shop. I will miss her and you will too. But I get joy knowing that she is at peace with her Lord and Saviour and just knowing that one day I will meet her again too. Keep your heads up high for she truly loved her family. I pray for you all to get through this. "For this too shall pass."

I knew Ms. Ball from Curves, where I was her trainer. Durning her time at Curves we became very close. She was a very sweet woman who always had a smile on her face and a kind word. She always seemed to light up our days when she came in.
I am very proud to have known her, she has had a special place in my heart. I truly admired her and her strength.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

My name is Rita Stevens,I worked in the NTF building at NASA over fourteen years ago and knew Betty very well and I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. What a lovely lady she was, always had a smile for us when she came into the building. I met her one day years after I'd retired and enjoyed my visit with her. So I offer my deepest sympathy to her husband Tommy and her family whom she was very proud of and spoke of you all often and pray God will grant comfort as only He can and give with strengh in the days ahead.I remain sincerely
