Betty was so kind to open her home for our prayer group. She will be missed but for just a little while. God bless and keep you as you mourn this lovely lady.

My prayers have been with you. Bet exhibited such a beautiful loving spirit- I remember so many years ago how my sister and I would spend the night with Judy and we would get to be around cousins "in town"- Bet and Dot were both so gracious to us. We loved it! Bet was lovely inside and out!

I last saw Betty at Zinc's birthday party in 2004. Her smile made the room light up.
Tonya, the last time I saw you was when you sang at a Dulin reunion. What a great voice.
I pray the comfort of His peace and the warm memories of a Godly mother, friend and cousin
stay close in our hearts. She wrote her own epitaph daily

Dear Tonya and Kim,
I have fond memories of your mother cooking and serving with Mable Web at the Wednesday night suppers at church. She always had a kind word to say and gave encougagement that brought out the best in others through her great sense of humor. My daddy use to do alot of work for your mom and loved to tease him about his bald head!
Her love for the Lord was a witness for all to see.
May you find comfort knowing she is at home and at peace with the Lord.
Blessings,
Lydia Norsworthy Van Beek

We will miss her so much. Her smile will make you smile. I will always remember her walking up Eaton Rd and waving to Mom and I , sometimes stoping to chat a while. She will be missed.

I send my heartfelt sympathy to Betty's children, brother and sister's. We have lost a cousin that I always remember being full of life and a laugh that would roar across the fields of Mint Hill. Our families grew so much, we all were mostly out of touch, but the love for each of you lives in my heart.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you at this difficult time. As the days pass, one day you will smile over the things that make you cry today. Cherish your memories, and may God Bless you all.

Love
Alma
