Betty C. Epstein

Dear Betty,
Having lunch with you and spending time with you was one of the best gifts you could have given me. The other wonderful gift is having Suz in my life. I feel your presence around me and often see and feel "my yellow butterfly"!!
I know that you are now with "your prince" and finally pain free. You've left your mark behind with all that loved you so dearly. I will do my best to give Suz any "motherly" advice that she needs. I'll always be here for her and will...

Mom,
You've been gone one year, seems like only yesterday we were laughing and crying together.....telling stories, planning menus, calling just to hear the voice and feel the smile on the other end. How long does it take before it feels right, easier? I wonder....I do know you are with Dad, your mother and father and other loved ones. I'm happy you're at peace though I'm still waiting for you to come home!
Thank you for being my beautiful yellow butterfly and visiting often.
I...

my sweet,dear suz!
i have been so proud of you over the last year. i know the struggle you've had and how much you miss your dear mother. when we lose a parent, things change. even though we're adults, we're still their babies. you feel as though part of your roots are taken.you have certainly landed very strongly on your feet my dear friend. istrongly believe there is no time table for grief when you're as close as you are to your mother. she will be forever in your heart and for that...

Dear Betty,
You've brightened the lives of so many people and touched so many hearts. I felt so blessed to have known you and been able to celebrate your Birthday with you and your beautiful children. Your love has enriched so many of us and I know you are smiling knowing how special you are and just how much you are loved and missed.
Love Always,
Carol

Sometimes a tear rolls down my cheek when I answer my telephone and I know that you are not going to be on the other end of the line or when I check my email and I know that there will not be an email from you. As I dry my tear, a smile slowly lights up me face and I think of all the wonderful memories you left me and I feel enveloped in your love and warmth. Bet, I miss your physical presence,but a piece of you is always with me, in my heart and in my soul. We were so spiritually...

Betty: Sue and I have been friends for several years. I know how much she will miss you because I said goodbye to my mother almost 5 years ago. Sue was there for me then, and I will be here for her now. She talked so much about you that I could tell what a wonderful example of love, dedication and commitment you provided to all your family...a commitment I know Sue is anxious to carry on. Rest in peace.

My dear Mom,
I am so touched by the beautiful sentiments that have been conveyed by family and friends alike. It was apparent to anyone who knew you just how uniquely special a "lady" you were. There just are no words to adequately express just how much I miss your presence in my everyday life, how I think of you constantly and how happy you have made me because of the incredible friend and mother you have been to me. Know that we are all well and comforted by the fact that you're home,...
