Time does pass, but one always remembers one's thoughts of love!

Betty was a very special person in my life. I remember rough-housing with Craig and David in the "den" with the player piano going. She would come in with her "famous" ice tea, sugared-up, which, in hind sight, throw us all into a frenzy. My thoughts and prayers go out to both of her Davids, Craig and Rayne.

We are so saddened to learn of Betty's passing. Betty had a heart of gold and a gentle spirit. May God bless her and her loved ones as she rests in peace with the Risen Lord. Love, --The Cassans-- Jean, Christina & DeMarco (Forch), Dominic and Abigail (Gore)

Rayne, David and Craig. I know that no words can help ease the pain and loss that you are feeling right now. Betty brought so many happy moments in my life and when I think of her, all I can do is smile. I still remember the times when we took Betty and Dolores out for their birthdays. And all those infamous pool parties….what fun we had. There are not many people like her in this world and as I am personally discovering myself, remembering the laughs, adventures, and stories help recover from the loss. And boy do I have a lot of great memories with BJ and Dolores. I am comforted knowing that she and Dolores are on their next adventure in life and having a great time together. You are in my every prayer and thought.

You had such a great and beautiful mother and were so blessed to have her all these years. She is in peace now and we will all forever remember her. May you all know she is in God's hands now and resting peacefully. May both David's continue to carry all of her love in their hearts. All my thoughts and prayers - Megan Genheimer
