Mrs. Creighton was a very special person. You never had to guess what was on her mind. When she spoke, she had the cutest little high pitched voice. When I close my eyes, I can still hear her voice. She had such a wonderful sense of humor mixed with wisdom. What personality! I know she is greatly missed and will always be missed. However, keep the faith because we will someday see her again.
With Great Sincerity,

My Aunt Betty was a very special lady! She survived the Great Depression, WWII, sending all of her boys off to the service and taking care of her husband day and night for over ten years. She had a sense of humor that was quick as a humming bird's wings and as sharp as a laser! I loved to visit her at home and talk with her on her porch. She was a true fighter of that "Great Generation" that helped build America. I loved her very much and she was full of Love herself always waiting to hear the Gospel on the telephone or to hear good news about a successful family member. Finally, she was the Matron of our family and she has left a large legacy for all of us to follow. She will be sorely missed but I know she is God's Hands and with her two sisters and our Beloved Nana now and finally at Peace. We will miss you Aunt Betty but your legacy lives on in each of us. Love always. Roy and Tokiko Barnett
