Steve and family,
I pray Holy Spirit will strengthen and comfort you during this time.
Betty Lois was one of God's most precious gifts to our world and will be truly missed by one and all. She was a ray of happiness, love, selflessness, and exhortation to everyone who had the privilege to meet her. She truly loved her family, friends, and home, but most of all she loved Her Lord Jesus and His word. We shared numerous Bible studies together and times of intercession. We also shared an insatiable love of watermelon! Now she gets to lift her beautiful voice in the heavenly choir and sit at The Teacher's feet!

Steve and family,
It was a true pleasure to know Betty Lois. Her bright spirit glowed through her pain and I never heard a complaint. She just kept moving and loving her family and friends to the last. What a testimony to God's amazing peace she is.

I talked with heron Friday. She was having a very bad day. I felt she was telling me goodbye. She was one of my oldest and dearest friends. I thanked God in my prayers last night for giving me the opportunity to know and love such a wonderful person. I feel she will have a crown full of stars.
