Not sure what to say?

To the May family,
I am a relative of Anna Hearn who resides at Tennyson. Your mother and Anna were friends there and I know that Anna misses her. Please know that you all and Bette will be in our prayers.

WE ARE VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. LOVE AND SYMPATHY

The thoughts and prayers of the Harms Family are extended to the May Family.

Dear Joe, Claire and Family; I will always remember your Mom having a smile for me, a painting in the works, and words that rang with wisdom (but in a humorous way). My thoughts are with you at this time and I hope that you are feeling the peace that she now must know.

A memory I will always have of Aunt Bette is of our wedding invitation, which she artistically decopaged on wood for us, and after 35 years of marriage, we still have it hanging on the wall! It is such a beautiful memory of her and our wedding, as well. Our heartfelt sympathies to the family.

Claire and Joe - my thoughts and prayers are with you. It's a beautiful picture-she looks so peaceful-hopefully she has found eternal peace now. Tracy Makin

Dear Liz & Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your dear mom's passing. She was a beautiful lady and never looked her age. I guess you inherited her aging genes. I am so sorry that I cannot be with you tomorrow (as you were with me all the time). in any event you are in my thoughts and prayers as is your beloved mom who suffered more than she deserved. She raised a wonderful family and I know that her being at peace will give you peace and that memories of better time and faith will see...

Aunt Bette was one of the neatest people to ever grace our family. She and Wally were always the ones we couldn't wait to see at the holidays. She and I had a closeness regarding all of her geneology work for the family and I will always cherish the painting she gave me of the family farm in Germany. I'm so glad that Joe helped us meet with Bette last year although I think she may have thought I was my Dad, her Brother Wayne. The world has truly lost a "one-of-a-kind" person with her passing....

To all my cousins.....

I have to agree with my brother Pete and sister Barb, Aunt Betty was my favorite Aunt as well!! I have so many memories of her and especially how sweet she always was to everyone. I will never forget how she would always grab your cheeks and give you a big kiss and smile that warm, beautiful, smile of hers. My wife Betsy, daughter Madison and I pass along our heartfelt prayers and deepest sympathy to our sweet Aunt Bette's family!!! May God be with you as you...
