When I think of "Aunt Betty" I think of such a calm and loving woman. Aunt Betty just went with the flow and always had a smile on her face. Uncle Petie always kept her in stitches. She had such warm, glowing skin and will forever be remembered. Uncle Petie, Teresa & family-- stay strong and know that we are constantly thinking of you!!!!

Love & Prayers,
Rita, Steve, Presley & Jansen

Uncle Petie and Family,
Our deepest sympathy are with you and the family.Betty was not only a special person,but wife,mom and grandmother. She was truly known for all her great meals. We always looked forward to visiting when we come to town.If Betty didn't have anything on the stove she would cook up something. If you need anything please don't hesitate to call. Teresa if you ever want to talk please call me.

My deepest sympathies are with you and your family at this time. Over the years, I realized the special opportunity I had been given to have Betty in my life. I learned so much through our conversations together and hold her ideals in my heart. I really do wish I could have aquired even a small percentage of her cooking talents, though. I will miss our times together: But, I will try my best to fill any voids with numerous memories of joy, laughter and our shared friendship.
With my love, prayers and thoughts,
