We are so saddened by the passing of Betty. You have our heartfelt sympathy. We always enjoyed her company at family gatherings and the many Thanksgiving dinners. We miss Ernie too, but now they can be together again. There are no words that we know of to ease the pain of grief but if we hold tight to the memories of Betty and Ernie and maybe other joys and hopes will lighten the weight of the sorrow that each of us carry. There is comfort knowing that both Betty and Ernie are being held close by God. We will send a rememberance of them to Ruthfred Lutheran Church as we know that for Betty and Ernie their faith and that church has been so very important to them. May you all have God's peace. Jim, Teri and the Sander Family
