Betty Spint Obituary
Betty was born on June 14, 1927, to Thomas and Rose Treanor in Moore, Mont. She was raised in the Lewistown and Billings area and graduated from Billings Senior High School. She met and married the love of her life, William G. Spint, and they shared many loving and memorable years together before his passing in 1998. In 1979, they built their dream home on the Stillwater River in Nye, a home that they shared with all family and friends. Betty resided in this home until she moved back to Billings in 2003. She spent many of her days as a practical nurse at St. Vincent's Hospital where she shared fond memories of caring for others, even up until her last days. She also worked many years at the Warehouse Market until 1979, when she and her husband Bill retired to their home at the River. Betty claimed that her main goal in life was to find her true love and to be a mother, she accomplished this in spades; she was the best mother and grandmother any of us could have asked for and her legacy lives on in her 10 children, 25 grandchildren, and many, many great and great-great grandchildren.
Betty is survived by her siblings, Theresa DeCellis and husband, Pat, of Rochester, N.Y., Patricia Phillips of San Pedro, Calif., Jim Treanor and wife, Sylvia, of Bakersfield, Calif., and her "Sis" Mary Williams of Shepherd. Her children include, Jody Voelker of Las Vegas, Donald Beal and wife, Maria, of El Paso, Texas, Mike Spint of Seattle, Bill Dugger and wife, Darlene, of Billings, Holly Jones and husband, Jim, of Billings, Colleen Wright of Palmdale, Calif., Billee Spint and special friend, Gary Frasier, of Laurel, Joy Hunt and husband, Joel, of Billings/Red Lodge, Jack Spint and special friend, Linda Allen, of Billings and Susan Eby of Laurel.
She is preceded in death by her aforementioned parents and husband; sisters, Peggy, Rose, Mary and Bridget; brothers, John and Mike; son, Thomas; daughter-in-law, Sharon; grandsons, Robert, Kevin and Travis; granddaughters, Denilee and Tana Marie.
The family wishes to express their deep appreciation for the love and care provided by Big Sky Hospice, especially Beth and Carol. We would also like to thank Dr. Thomas Purcell and the staff at the Billings Clinic Infusion Center and Dr. Stephen Gerstner for is dedication to our mother. To Dr. Mary Gaddy, we would like to thank you for the love and friendship you've shown our beloved mother, you are truly a part of our family.
Rosary will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 4, and the Mass and funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 5, both at St. Pius Catholic Church located at 18th and Broadwater. Smith Downtown Chapel is in charge of arrangements.

Hello my dear sweet Momma!
Well, its officially been a year since your beautiful essence left this world and believe you me you are missed. I awoke this morning at the exact time that you died last year and felt as though my heart was being ripped out all over again but then I make myself stop and realize what a beautiful place you are and how happy you must be and some of the pain eases. Christmas was, as I am sure you know, great!! Everyone was here and we really had a good time. All the tension was gone and we all just had fun except that your presence was missed but you know what? We all felt that you were there and you were. You will always live in my heart and soul and I see you in every room of my house where something of yours lives. Mom I know this page is going away and I won't be able to write you anymore at least not here but I will still write to you in a journal. I miss you Mom and I always will. You were and still are and always will be my best friend, biggest fan, and inspiration and I will always love you and do all in my power to honor your memory and your life. Good night Mom, until I can see you again, what a joyous day that will be.
Undying love and respect to my angel,
Your daughter,
Holly

Hi Mom,
Only a few more days to send you any messages through this Guest Book, but I know that you probably hear our thoughts just fine without this. I think that this is a wonderful way for us to share our thoughts with the rest of those who love you and miss you and to vent our own feelings of pain and loneliness.
I think that we all agree that we don't need this book to remember you. You were and you still are in our hearts and our memories no matter what. We have been living in the most recent past where our raw pain has been slowly becoming a little less raw, but now it is time for us to begin to remember the life we all had with you and remember the fun times, the happy times and perhaps even the times that were not so fun when you disciplined with words, your disappointment and the "switch" as it were. Even those times have some humorous memories to share.
None of us will forget your laugh, your dancing around the room, your smile, your funny little anecdotes, your words of wisdom, your hugs and your kisses. You were a special gift to all of us and all who knew you and I thank our heavenly Father that He gave us to you and you to us.
So Mom, until I see you face to face again, remember how much you are loved and missed,
Lova, lova, lova you, now and forever,
Jody

Hi Mommy!!
Well, one more Christmas has come and gone and I heard and saw you in every preparation and decoration. I have always felt so lost this time of year since Kevin died but you were always there so it wasn't so bad but now you are not here and it was not good. We all celebrated Christmas together and we had such a lovely time on Christmas Eve and of course Christmas day was a blur of activity but now its over and I really have time to think of you now. Mom I still miss you so very very much and my heart still aches so deeply. Some days I feel there is no meaning to life but I know that that is not so but without you I feel so vulnerable and unsafe. With you I always felt safe and protected and that nobody could get to me as long as you were around. I know that you are still here with me but I am still flesh and blood therefore I am selfish and want you here for me to see, talk with and hold. Mom I love you so very much and I thank you for all the love, wisdom, confidence, and strength you and Dad gave me, the are the foundations I have built my life on. Both you and Daddy and my dear sweet Kevin are so deeply missed and loved and I know with time all of this gets better but I just don't know when that will be. I must close for now but you are never off my mind or out of my heart.
Forever your biggest fan with every ounce of love in my heart,
Your daughter,
Holly

Hello my dear Mother!!!
Well life continues on and it is so busy. I sure do miss you just as much today as when you left us. It is really lonely here without you, I feel as though I've lost my connection to everything without you. The holidays are coming and of course I am not looking forward to them at all. I am cooking Thanksgiving for the family and really looking forward to it and Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner will be at my house too. Sure will miss your smiling happy face. I talk with you all the time and I know you are with all of us and will always be, you said that you would always be with us and I believe you are. Sure do wish I could just touch you though. Well my dearest sweetest Mother I must get back to work. I love you Betty Louise and I always will. Please give Daddy and Kevin a big hug and kiss? I wish you could tell me that Kevin is ok and happy, I am sure he is but it would be nice to know it for sure, I miss him as much as I do you.
Talk with you soon,
Holly

My Dear Sweet Little Mother:
As I read the previous notes of love to you, I am reminded of how very much we all miss and love you. Oh Momma, I too miss you so very much and still cannot not believe you are truly gone. I still want to believe that you are just on one of your long trips to see someone in the family. I know time will help, but not having a Mother to talk is something no one can prepare for. Thank you Momma for being my guardian angel and protecting me in my car accident last May. When I woke up after being knocked out and your beautiful face in my picture of you that I had with me was laying between the seats and was the first thing I that I saw, I knew beyond a doubt that guardian angels do exist. You and the Lord protected me from further harm and allowed me to walk away and find help on my own. I have daily reminders of your presence around all of us, but I just wish I could see you in a dream. After Daddy died, he did appear to me in a dream and told me everything would be alright. I know when the time is right, you will do the same. I find myself saying the same things to my children and grandchildren that you did and it is as if you are speaking to me through my thoughts. As I promised you, we are having our family reunion in July of 2008 at Rock Creek Resort. I have reserved the banquet room and the picnic area and we are patterning this reunion after the last one that you put together. I believe that you are guiding us all so that your dream of another reunion is coming true.
Also, I tell my grandchildren that I lova, lova, lova them just like you did. I will never let that tradition from you die. It will always live on. Give everyone in Heaven a big hug for me. We will all be together again someday.
I lova, lova, lova you Momma - Joy

Hi Mommy!!!
Wow so much has been happening and yet it is still so lonely without you. When there is good news you are still the first person I want to call and share it with and when I am sad or whatever its you I want. Your ears must be ringing cuz I talk with you all the time.Everyone here is good and life just continues but it is still so very lonely and empty without you. I wonder if this feeling will ever go away, with Kevin it abated a little but with you its not, I miss you so much. I am just beginning to realize how deeply I depended on you and how I simply enjoyed being with you. You really are my very best friend.We are going to finally have our family reunion in July and I do believe everyone is coming and your presence is really going to be missed but your spirit will be there. School is starting again and it is going to busier than ever but thats ok I need the distraction.
Well, Mom, please know I miss you so much. Please give Daddy and Kevin my love and let them know how I miss them. Hug Jesus for me and remember how very much you are loved and missed.
Your daughter

Hi Mom,
Yesterday was 6 mos. since you went to be with Jesus and while I know you are in a much better place, free from pain, fear and worldly cares, I selfishly would much rather have you here with us.
I find myself thinking about you as I am reading something or watching TV or even just doing some housework or cooking and I think, "I have to call Mom and see what she is up to and how everyone is." Then it hits me and it's like someone punched me in the stomache and knocked the breath out of me, because I can't call you and I can't make plans for a trip to see you.What I would give Mom, for another chance to spend time with you, to talk for hours, to hear your laugh and hear the silly little tunes you might suddenly sing, to stand in the kitchen cooking with you, anything, Mom, anything but this emptiness. I went through this when my baby girl died, when my mother died so many years ago and when Daddy died and now with you but somehow it never gets better and the pain never does go away.
I miss you Mom and I miss the family get togethers. I try to keep in touch by e-mail with everyone, but don't get many responses. I know that everyone is busy, but somehow we need to do better. You were always our common thread that kept us whole Mom and somehow we have to re-attach that thread.
I love you,
Jody

Hi Mom!!
Six months ago today we lost you and it still hurts ever bit as much now as it did then and it just doesn't seem possible or right. I really miss you and my life still feels empty like something is missing. I still do all I am supposed to do everyday but it just seems not very worthwhile. If only I could talk with you just once to know you are ok and that you are happy I would be ok but I know, in my head, you are. I just miss you and your friendship so much Mom and I can't wait until the day I can see and touch you again. Please know that you are forever loved and missed by everyone.
I love you so much

Hi Mom!
Well its Memorial Day and my thoughts are filled with you and Daddy and of course Kevin. I miss the three of you so badly my life seems dull and like all the joy is gone cuz the three most important people in it are gone. I know I have to continue on and I know in my head that things will get better but my heart just won't believe it. Life is going on for all of us and overall I think things are good but there just isn't anyone like you to share the good stuff with. You were my very best friend and when I was happy so were you and when I hurt you did too, now I feel so alone even though I am surrounded by people who love me. I keep asking God to help me and to give me the strength and courage to live my life in a way that will make both of you proud. Well enough of my feeling sorry for myself just know that you and all of my other loved ones are being thought of today with undying love and good memories.
I'll always love you
Holly

Happy Mothers Day my precious Mom
Well,this is certainly weird to not be with you today to celebrate what a wonderful role model and inspiration you always have been for me. Everything I ever learned about being a Mom and most importantly about being a decent human being I learned from you. Mom I miss you so much and my heart is still broken, I don't think it can ever heal. What I wouldn't give to just hear your voice and hold you but I know that GOD is holding you and that is so much better.We are having a bar-b-que today in honor of you and all that you stood for and taught us. Thank you Mom for always being there for me, even in death, and for giving me the greatest childhood and upbringing anyone could ever have. Thank you for loving me unconditionally and completely. I will always stive to make you proud and happy.So, for now, good day and know that you are forever loved and deeply missed.
Always your loving daughter

My dearest, sweetest Grammie,
Oh, how I miss you! I STILL can't comprehend the fact that you're not here. Holly's right, you left a huge, huge hole!
I had a dream about you the other night too. I remember, in the dream, I was excited to know you were coming. I was at a house by some water and me and some little toddler were walking up and up this path in the woods to get to where you were gonna be coming to. When I got to the top of this path, I saw Holly and Joy. Each one was sitting, surrounded by kids, on lounge chairs. Holly had on brand new white high top shoes. (Don't know why I remember that, but Mom says it probably means something about a new ministry for her). Anyway, I was just beside myself waiting for you to arrive and Holly and Joy seemed like it was no big deal (perhaps they were really angels and they thought it was no big deal because they get to see you all the time!) Anyway, when you got there, I said, "They're here!" Maybe Gramps was with you but I didn't see him. Anyway, you and I walked over to a vehicle to get something out of the trunk and I asked you how you were feeling. You looked so good! Just like before you got sick or like when you were in Wyoming for Dad's birthday. Your hair was white and fluffy and you just looked like my precious, beloved Grandma! Anyway, after I asked you how you were, you said, "I can still kick your butt!" It was the funniest thing! That's when I woke up. I was grateful for the dream, but I feel robbed because I didn't get to hug you and tell you how much I love you.
Well, I'm at work and I can't be sitting here in my uniform crying like a baby, so I'll close for now.
I'll write to you later.
I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!
Love forever,
Your adoring granddaughter,
tj

Hi my dearest dearest Mommy!!
Well Happy Easter dear lady!! What a wonderful place for you to be on this glorious day how I wish I could be there too!! Hug Jesus and everyone I love for me. Boy I miss you it just seems to get harder and not easier the void you left is huge and I keep searching for ways to fill it but it just isn't happening you, dear lady are an act impossible to follow or replace. I saw Dr. Purcell today and he recalled you so fondly and again stated how you touched his life too. Well my darling I love you with all my heart and I will dream of you and pray one day I can see you and hear your voice.
All my undying love

Grandma, I had a dream about you last night. Wow,it was really hard to know that it was just a dream, that I not see you for a long time. I think of you every time we have and ultrasound or we see pictures of the baby that will be here later in the year. The thing is that when you died I got pregnant. Wish is great that we get this chance to raise another child,but I still miss you and wish you could meet him or her. I bet this little someone will be like you, a wonderful person that gives love to all that they come in contact with. your heart was/is so big. I love you more than you know and think of you a lot. love to you and Gramps...

Hi Momma!
Well, this is our first Easter without you. I know you are in the best "Church" there could possibly be and perhaps you are sitting right by Jesus! I will go to church on Sunday, but it will be so hard without you. It will be my first time in many years going to Easter Sunday Mass without you. But, I know you will be right beside me. Oh, my dear sweet Momma, how I miss you. As Terri says, it still doesn't seem quite real that you are gone. We all love you so. Colleen needs an extra hug from above dear Momma. I think she is really struggling as well. Well, I'll talk to you before I go to sleep tonight, along with God and Jesus.
Your loving daughter, JOY

Dearest Gran,
Just wanted to tell you I love you! I tell you every day, but thought I'd say it again.
Boy, I sure do miss you and even after these nearly 3 months, I still can't believe you're really gone! How can that be? How can I not have my precious grandma with me anymore? It just can't be real.
I love you, more than ever! I miss you so very, very much!!!!
Love forever,

What a loving family Betty created. She truly was a special lady, always made me smile when she came to the cath lab to see Holly (and all of us). Her warm hugs and kisses were so full of love and spirit.
Holly, I feel honored to have known your mom and my sincere regrets for not contacting you sooner. The words you write to her are beautiful and knowing the deep love and admiration you have for her is quite touching, as are the other letters from your family. You too are a great lady, Holly. She taught you well!
Love you and miss you - Marian

Dearest Gran,
I don't think it's strange to keep writing to you, at all. I agree with Holly. It helps me too. I have been really thinking a lot about you the last couple days and missing you more than ever. I don't think it will ever get easier!
I sure wish I could hear your voice again and most of all, I wish could see you looking deep in to my eyes again!
I know you're with all of our other loved ones and that's good, but....I miss you so very much that my heart feels like it will just break and then when I try to hold back the tears, like now....my throat feels like it might explode.
Sometimes I just have to imagine that you aren't really gone or that you're only a phone call away. But, there's a lot of times that that just doesn't work.
But you know I tell you I love you, each and every day and I see your photo on my dresser and in my locker each day. I don't know if it makes missing you harder or easier, but I'm not willing to not have it around me all the time.
I love you more than I could ever say and I know that even if you never fully realized how much I loved you, while you were here on earth, you surely know it now!
Love you forever and forever!
Miss you so very very much!
Your adoring granddaughter,

Hi Momma!!
Happy Valentines Day to my most favorite lady. It seems so funny and sad not to have you here today. I miss trying to find the perfect card that lets you know how much I love you and how grateful I have always been to have you for my Mother. I think you somehow know that though. It really isn't getting easier yet, I still miss you so much. We are all going to be together tomorrow nite at your house first time since your funeral and I think that that will be nice. I think some people think its crazy to keep writing to you but I think you know it helps me and if I am not writing I am talking to you. I sure do miss you Mom. I sure wish you could be here to see the new house,it is perfect and everything you have always wanted and I know you will be there with us. Well my dear sweet Valentine its time for bed.I love you Mom and I miss you so very very much.

To my wonderful family,
I wanted to share these Bible verses with you.
Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not grow weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
2 Corinthians 5:6-8
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: For we walk by faith, not by sight: We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Grandma has mounted up with wings as eagles. She can run and not grow weary. She is present with the Lord and having a glorious time!
This gives me comfort, even though my world is more dull without her here.
I love you all and trust that we will all continue the legacy of love she left us. It's her greatest gift. We are left here, for awhile, to continue that legacy. I pray that we will not let it slip away. I promise to do my best to help it to grow and prosper.
I love you all!

Dear Gran,
Kim's right. I miss you so very much! It's like I can go for a few days, just doing every day stuff and not thinking about how much I miss you, but then I see your picture or I hear your voice in my head and I just break down. I have this hole inside me that I cover over with every day life, but then something will remind me of you and then the hole is a gaping empty hole again.
Heck, I didn't even get to see you that often, but I knew you were there and you were just a phone call away. I so wish I had told you more often how very much I love you. I wish I had had the words to make you know how much I love you. Even when you were still here with us, when I would think of how much I love you, it would make my heart ache.
I'll never forget the surprise you gave to us in Casper when you came there for Dad's 75th birthday. You traveled all the way on a bus, just to see us all. What a special gift. What a blessing to have those wonderful photos of each of us with you. Your heart and your love shines through in each of those photos and they are the best I've ever taken. I cherish them and I cherish you!
I don't think I'll ever get over the ache my heart feels because you are not here with us. I know it will get more dull with time, but part of me hopes it doesn't, you know?
I still can't quite comprehend that you are really gone!
My heart breaks for those that are in Billings, who had you so close for so long. How they must ache, not having you there.
I think of you every day Gran. I miss you every day. I love you every day.
Tell Gramps that I love him. Give my love to Great Grandma, Kevin, Robert and my older sister Deni Lee.
Give Jesus a hug for me. He knows what a treasure you are.
This world is much less bright without you in it.
Visit me in my dreams will you? I long to see you and talk to you. I know you can see my heart now. Can you see how much it swells with love for you? Can you see how it breaks?
I'll talk to you soon Grandma! I'll see you soon and hopefully, Jesus will come back and take us all to be with Him and be with you and our loved ones who have gone before us, soon.
Forever in love with you!
Your adoring Granddaughter,

Grams,
I miss you I just looked at some pictures that TJ took. I love you so much and just can't believe that you really aren't there! I hear you singing in my dreams, I here you saying wakey, wakey daylight is a wasting everytime I hit the snooze. I know your are there with gramps and the rest. But we all miss you like crazy down here. Taeler finally broke down last night. I think it took a while to realize that you were really gone with out her seeing you, it has been hard for her to grasp. She misses you too. I hope that you are doing all things that you didn't get to do while here on the other side. I know you hear me when I talk to you. Hear me now I love you and will always and forever keep you lose to my heart.
Love ya, see you again sometime, come visit any time,

Dear Mom,
How can one ever express all that is in the heart.... All the memories, some good, some not so good, some happy, some sad.... But I know that now you can probably see what I can't express.
You have been a part of my life since I was a young woman, a good friend to my Momma before she suffered from cancer and died. Then Daddy married you and two, no three families became one.... You didn't have to become Mom to me and Grandmother to my children, but you did... When you married Daddy you not only became a mother to many more than your own, but a grandmother to two little girls, then came a grandson and another granddaughter. The Lord told me one night, that my own Momma had planned for you to take over where she left off and you most certainly made her proud.
You sat by my bedside when I had surgery for cancer and held my husband's hand. You surely said many prayers for me then and until the day you left us. You stood by me through sickness, health, hardships and divorce. You may have been disappointed in some of the turns my life took, but you never forsook me or my children. We have had many many wonderful years and memories to cherish.
The day we took you to the place you and Daddy loved the most was perhaps the hardest day for me, but it was also the place of my fondest memories. I could hear your laughter along with Daddy's, I could feel the love that went into that house and the good times that we all shared there. That being true, it was also the hardest place to say goodbye. Yet I know that it is not goodbye, it is only "see you later" and I look forward to the day we will all be together again in the presence of Jesus.
Thank you Mom, for being Mom, for being a friend and for all the love you gave us all. I promise you Mom, that for as long as the Lord leaves me here, I will do all I can to keep all of us together. I will help all my sisters in any way I can to carry on your legacy of bringing all of the family together to love and share old memories and make new ones. Family was your greatest hope and will remain ours.
I love you and miss you more than words can say. Give Daddy a huge hug, along with my Momma, my baby Deni Lee, Tommy, Kevin and Robert and all of our loved ones there with you.

Hi Mommy!!
Well its been just over two weeks and I can't believe how much I miss you and the way you always looked at me and told me you loved me. I went back to work today and it did help just as Joy said it would and I laughed at some of the funny stories I shared with some of the cath lab people, they all miss you too as you were such a part of their lives as well. Several told me how lovely your services and rosary were and they were all overwhelmed by the love in the church, the love that you gave all of us and the love that lives on in all of us. We are gonna be ok Mom and will remain a family, you gave us that and I for one am eternally grateful and I will always try my best to carry on your legacy. Someday my heart will quite hurting and loving and missing you will get easier. I know beyond a doubt that you are in heaven, with Dad and all those who went before and you missed so much. Please tell my son how I love him and miss him but he is also with you and God and I can't think of a better place for either of you I am kinda envious actually. Ty misses you, he is confused and lost and he quite eating after you died but he too is healing and will also one day be with you again. I still talk with you a million times a day and I know I always will. If you ever want to visit, you know where I am.
I love you my dear sweet adorable mother and I miss you terribly but I will be ok and look forward to the day I will see that beautiful face again, until my memories will do. All my love and then some Holly

Grams,
I read all of the beautiful notes to you today. They made me cry because they reminded me of what we lost when you went home. But then the Lord reminded me of something He told me when I thought you were going to leave us at Thanksgiving..."It's not over Tina, it's only just beginning." I can't tell you how much that comforts me. To know that I will know you then so much better than I know you now is a huge blessing. I just wanted you to know that. I love you so much and I find myself thinking of your smile and your wonderful voice and I thank God for giving me the chance to know you. Thanks for loving me. Thanks for seeing good in each one of us that we couldn't see. I have been changed by the way you loved people Grandma. Hug Jesus for me too. Tell Him I live to see His face.
I'll love you forever, Tina

Dearest Grandma!
I'm thinking of you. I think of you each day. Sometimes, I still don't get that you're gone. I still catch myself thinking, "oh, I gotta call Grammie", then I remember that I can't and the air is knocked out of my lungs again. I swear when I came back for your funeral, I heard you call my name, over and over. I nearly ran in to the house to see what you needed, then I remembered. I like to think you were calling to me from Heaven, to let me know you were watching and that you were still with me.
I am so grateful for your love! I am so blessed for your kisses and hugs and for the sweet, sweet sound of your voice. I can still hear you singing to Ty in the bedroom, when Mom and I were there in May. I saw how much he misses you; he seemed so lost without you. He just kept going from room to room, around in circles, looking everywhere for you. I feel that way.
I regret not living closer to you. I am envious of those who did, but I am still one of the luckiest and most blessed people around, not only for knowing you, but for the incredible priviledge of having you for my Grandma.
I look at your picture every morning and every night. I even have you with me on my locker door at work. I tell you I love you every day. I pray you can hear me and that you never, ever doubted how much I love you!
I miss you more than I can say! I pray you and Gramps are having a blast. I know you missed him so very much,so even though I miss you so very much, I'm glad you are with him again! Give him hugs and kisses for me and tell him I AM OK.
Hug Jesus for me too, will you?
With all my love, forever and ever,
tj

To my dear, sweet, precious Grammie,
OH HOW I LOVE YOU! I know you said that you didn't want me to cry, but I miss you SO much! I know you are with my dear sweet Jesus, but I'm still in the selfish mode and I want you here with me.
I want to thank you for loving me, Grandma! You didn't have to. I never doubted your love for me, though. You always made it abundantly clear by your words and actions.
I will miss the way you held my face in your hands and looked intensely in to my eyes, like you were memorizing my face. I know you were. I always saw such deep love in that gaze.
I will miss the way you said my name, like you were waiting to hear from me and like you had missed me. I always heard the love you had for me, when you said my name.
I am so thankful for the time I got to spend with you at Thanksgiving. I got to hear you laugh and I got the priviledge of helping to take care of you and the incredible blessing of "showing" you how much I love you as well as telling you. I pray with all my heart that you KNEW how very much I love you and how important you have always been to me.
My heart is broken! I prayed so hard for God to heal you and truthfully, I was pretty mad at Him for not healing you. I know His Will is perfect and that even though I don 't understand why you had to go, I know with all my heart and with God's assurance, that you are with Him now.
I'll bet you are dancing with Gramps and laughing and singing at the top of your lungs!
Don't worry Grammie, I'll do whatever I can to make sure the family stays together, because I love them so much and because "family" was so important to you and Gramps.
Thank you for loving me so much and for being proud of me!
I love you more than words can say and I miss you each and every day.
I'll see you soon, Grammie!! Count on it.
Your loving Granddaughter,
tj

Hi Gigi, I love you. I hope that you can have a great time up in heaven. I miss you and I really want you to come back. I love you. Chloe wants to say hi too, Coley wants you back too. I am glad that Coley could stay at the party at the church (Gigi's funeral) because I really wanted to hear what Father Dan was saying so you I could learn more about why people have to go up to heaven who are really sick. I learned that people have to heaven because they get really sick and I'm very sad about that because when people go to heaven I be with them. I can go to your house but you are not there. You'll always be in my heart.
Love your Great-grandson Caiden

Death Is Nothing...
Death is nothing at all...
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Whatever we were to each, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play.. smile.. think of me... Pray for me.
Let my name be the household word it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort.
Life means all that it ever meant..
It is the same as it ever was...
there is Absolutely Unbroken Continuity.
Why should I be out of your mind
because I am out of your sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near just around the corner...
All is well.
Nothing is past, nothing is lost.
One brief momment and all will be as it was before,only better,
infinitely happier and forever we will be one together...in this Beautiful Place.

Our sympathy goes out to the Spint family. We have such wonderful memories of Betty and I'm sure you do too and they will sustain you all your life. Kevin has the flu so I don't know if he will get to the funeral, but Betty was a second Mom to Kathy and him. Dale is not well and both Kathy and I are working. Betty loved her family unconditionally. She was a true Christian model and influence for all of us.

It is so terribly hard to say some thing at this moment.
I have the great pleasure of knowing the Spint family for quite a number of years. The kids & I grew up together for a number of years on Phoebe Drive as neighbors in the Heights. There were alot of fond memories of Betty & Bill with their children. You could at any time walk into the house & feel welcomed by Betty. There was always alot of love in their home.
With My Deepest Sympathy to the Spint family;

Dear sweet Betty, my sister, my best friend. You always had such a zest for life and a tremendous capacity to love and nurture everyone. You have been the Tap Root of our family tree. No matter how far and wide the family branched out you always pulled us back to our Montana roots. The wonderful family reunions you planned and organized gave us the chance to reconnect and reaffirm our family love and unity, and that in turn gave all of our families, children and grandchildren, wonderful memories of family togetherness to cherish and pass on to future generations.
When you left us it tore a ragged hole in the fabric of my life. But as the days go by I feel the hole being mended by the threads of my memories of the wonderful times we spent together- how we laughed and sang our way through Ireland, how we shared life's joys and triumphs and ,yes, disappointments. We danced together and cried together and enjoyed just being together. so though my mended life will not be the same without you in it, it will hold together until that final glorious reunion in eternity. "Thanks for The Memories" Your loving sister, Terry

So, Betty. One day shortly ago, you affirmed that you were departing this earthly life and were anticipating with great joy the reward of Heavenly Father's amazing grace. I implored you to take me with you, but to no avail. Instead, you reminded me of the unfinished service to our glorious God that each of us has left to complete. Thank you for loving me, and for including me in your family. Your generous spirit has set an example for an entire (very large) family, and because of you, Bill, and Holly, I've been honored to share in the love of that group. As a matriarch, few compare to you.
I love and miss you, my precious friend, and eagerly await our next meeting, in the magnificently sweet by and by.

Grandma Betty,
I love you so much. I am so thankful that I got to be a part of your family, especially the last eight years. I always enjoyed your laughter and your smile and wisdom. You always know the right thing to say. I will always remember how you never forgot a name and always asked how everyone was doing. Thank you so much for loving my daughters, my husband Randy, and myself just like we were one of your grandchildren and great grandchildren. You will be missed, but we do "know" that you are with us.
We love you,
Angie, Randy, Kaitlyn, and Danika

I think back on the time your mom and I drove back to Brother Johns funeral from Ca. She talked about every one of you, her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids. She left you a legacy that I pray will live in your hearts forever. We all leave a legacy, so good some
not so good. Your mom was a loving, caring, compassionate and forgiving person, and that's the legacy she left you. It's your choice to continue it or let it fall by the wayside. It is my prayer for you that it continues.
Your Loving Uncle, Jim....

Betty/Grandma,
Thank you for all the wonderful years. Like several others, you treated me as if I were a grandchild of yours. You always had a word of encouragement from a failed hunting foray or a quick hand to help two foolish boys who tried to wash their hair in 40 degree river water.
Your laugh was infectious and your orange marmalade jelly was addictive. Your sky blue eyes could peer into a teenager’s soul.
I will always remember the card games late into the evening and the oversized alarm bell on a wooden dresser at 4:30 a.m.
You have forever touched me. Thank you for waiting – so I could say “Good Bye” this summer. The only way it is possible to bear this pain is to know that yours is over and that now you can be together with Bill forever.
You will be missed, but never forgotten.

Oh Grandma, how I miss you already, you were always a positive in my life. You meant to world to me. I know you are in a better place now and you are with the greatest man "Gramps" but I will forever miss you. My heart does break and I know you had a great life and it was time for him to take you but, you will always be close to my heart. You were always so caring and opened your heart and homes to anyone who needed it. I will always look up to you.I hope that I can be even half the person you were. I will love you forever. I know I bugged you about the "Protein" But now you don't need it, But it let me hang on to you for a little longer, a couple more phone calls and a few letters and pictures. I love you. Rest well, dance hard and sing loud. I hear you. I always did. I Love you every day forever and ever.

Betty, whom I quickly became comfortable calling "Mom" was an increcible Mother-in-law. She was so accepting and loving that you couldn't help but love every little thing about her. Family was the most important thing in her life and she was our self-appointed protector and peace keeper. "Blessed are the Peace Keepers." It was from her that I learned to hug and show affection. Not just with family and loved ones, but with friends and aquaintances too. I have thought of her so often from afar and I feel the world has lost an angel. I really wish I could have seen her again before she took wings to heaven. But she is not, nor will she ever be, any less in my heart and my thoughts. I loved her too... Still do.
"I love you Mom." Fay

I feel so fortunate to have known Betty for two thirds of my life. I have felt her rath after bringing her daughter home from prom at 4:30am in the morning after getting stuck in a snow bank (twice)to the strong and loving friendship of haveing her come and stay with my second family taking care of our kids while we traveled. Along with all the years in between. I am so thanksfull for being able to of known both Bill and Betty.I am sorry for your loss but know they are both most likely walking along a river looking for a place for Bill to wet his line while both enjoy each other company once again.I can hear both of them laughing aloud the way they always did. How fortunate that they met each other, and I was able to meet them.

Well, "I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times, But this time the hurting won't heal... You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille." Oh the memories of you singin and cookin, singin and cleanin, singin and gardenin, singin and dancin...! You truly lived life to its fullest, and were a role model to all. There was no better smile on this earth, a smile that warmed my heart and lit up the room. And that laugh, Oh how I loved to make you laugh, your eyes would sparkle and you just made the world a better place. You taught me that love was everything and happiness came from love. I won't ever forget your long hugs and kisses and just looking into your eyes, you loved to love and we felt it. You were so proud of each and every one of us. You celebrated our differences and taught us to be proud of who we were, and where we came from, to be tolerant, kind and understanding. Thank you Gramma, for always being there and for supporting me. Thank you for all that you have taught me and my children. What a wonderful example you were to them and they loved you so. You, my sweet gramma, are always in my heart, and I will be singing with you when I do the DISHES (yep, I said it)! I too, Lova, Lova, Lova You (always, and then some and a little bit more!)

To the Spint family,
So sorry to hear of the passing of your mother and grandma. Betty was always so nice to visit with when my brother and I would stop in to fish. I will always remember the first time that Betty met my oldest son Danny. She walked up to me with tears in her eyes and told me, " your son looks just like your cousin and my nephew Jerry Rye." It meant so much to me that your mother and grandma felt that strong about her feelings for my son and our mutual realative. What a nice nice lady. I hope you all can find comfort in knowing that Betty is in a real nice place having a family reunion with everyone. God bless all of you.
Thoughts and prayers,

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I am so thankful for the past 8 months that I was blessed to share with you in "our" home. You have always been such an inspiration to me and I shall model my life after you. I shall always try to be as loving and kind as you and open my home to all that will choose to share it - just as you and Daddy always did. Although my heart feels as if it is breaking, I know your spirit will help it to heal and grow as big as yours. Give Daddy, Kevin and everyone a huge hug for all of us.
With all my love, Momma - Joy
