The world has lost a really special lady in Betty Adam, but our loss is Heaven's gain! Betty was the matriarch of her family, & Dave & I are praying for Don & the others as they seek to fill the gap left by such a truly giving lady.

Betty, you have been a friend to me for many years even before I came to FBC and have sang together for many years as an awesome alto. You always had an encouraging word to say and knew more people than I could count. Also in the Asian Ministry you were instrumental in helping to form this circle of women. You will be dearly missed.
