I am so sorry to hear about Betty. I just found out a few minutes ago when Bugsy's wife, Bonnie, called to tell me. I have many happy memories of my Aunt when I was growing up. She was only a few years older than me. She used to take me shopping with her and then I helped her out one summer when when she worked at the garage. All of you are in my thoughts.

I watched Garfield and Betty build and move into their lake house next door to ours. They were friends and good neighbors from the start. We are truly sad to learn Betty has passed. Our prayers are with you Garfield that times ahead will be blessed with good memories.

I apologize for not knowing of Betty's passing til I received this invitation. I shall always remember her as a fine lady, a great neighbor, and a patient friend to a couple of old fishermen. God bless her and keep her, and may she find peace, and may we know peace through her.

Well Betty, What can I say. Your the best and I will always love you and never, ever forget you. You had a special way to brighten my day. When I would visit, you never complained about anything. Your attention always went towards me and how I was feeling or about my kids. You were always so unselfish and so giving of yourself. You never put yourself before others.
I've always underestimated the power of a touch, a smile, a listening ear. But over the years I've come to realize that you don't have to speak a word to have the potential to turn someones life around. You have totally convinced me that it's absolutely true. Words can't express how much I'm gonna miss you. : )
I love you with all my heart. I know when it's my time to go home you will be there to welcome me with open arms and a great big hug. You've always been my Angel, my friend, and my counselor.
Um mm, My Counselor?
As Scooby Doo would say, " Rut Ro ".
Well I don't have to say that cause your still gonna have to be my counselor. Some ones gotta listen ya know. : ) LOL
I love you. Sherrie Foy XOXO
