Well, no more smuggled chili dogs into the Nursing Home and nightly phone calls, but then again, no more nightly news of the extended family, either...:-( She gave the world two wonderful children, and they in turn each gave her two wonderful grandchildren each. And if she was able to hear us on that last day, she found out about a great-grandchild on the way. If not, I'm sure she knows by now. God won't be able to keep any secrets from Betty! :-) We love her and miss her and always will!

"OH NO! IT's HER!" Betty gave the world, especially her children, so many reasons to laugh and smile. To know that you are in His house, pain free, making everyone laugh is a gift from God to all whom you left here.
love, the sagers
