Robert, I am saddened to hear of this loss. Betty was always a shining light and a joy to encounter. Her pleasure in life brought her joy which she shared with those around her through her ready smile, her laugh, and her warmth. Our world is lessened without her in it. I will always remember her with great affection and friendship.
I hope that you will be comforted by those around you and from heaven. May the memory of Betty be a blessing to you and all who knew her and were touched by her.

I loved our talks about the Lord and her smiling no matter what she was going through. I am also going to miss her hugs and kisses.
She told me she had lived and good life and had no regrets. "God has been good to me".

I will miss seeing her in her favorite seat at Ebenezer. She was such a nice person to talk to and she would always let you know how she always put God first in her life. A lot of fun to be around and she will be missed.
