Wally, Freda, Butch and Family,
I am heartbroken to read of Betty Jo's passing. I want you to know your family has my sincerest condolences and prayers from the bottom of my heart. There really are no words I can express to say what I feel except heartbroken for all of you.
Words, however kind, can't mend your heartache; however, take comfort in the knowledge that there will always be tomorrow, when you will see her again. And know that with God, her joy is eternally sealed; and cherished in your memories. Let the memories of the years you've shared wash over your heart and soul. Those we hold closest to our hearts never truly leave us. They live on in the kindness they have shared and the love they brought into our lives.
Let her spirit fill you with strength and love; may it help the pain decrease as each day that brings a glorious dawn and creates an inner peace.
Betty Jo will be greatly missed by all that had the pleasure to know her.
Sincerely,
How you can show support

Shocked and saddened to read this notice. As a friend and classmate of Butch's, I remember Betty Jo as a sweet little girl. She accomplished great things and I'm sure she will be sorely missed by her colleagues, friends, and family. My sincerest condolences to all.

I cannot begin to understand how the family feels, but I do know that God is lord of the storm. Unexpected events bring stormy seas and trouble our once-still waters. God is the only one who has the power to guide us through the storms. His unbelievable peace can be ours as we rest on His unchanging grace and love. God still speaks "Peace Be Still" upon our lives.
