Tommy,I guess there really are no words that express how sorry I am for your loss. I use to laugh at Bettina because she would pick Chip and me up for school in the mornings, not that she really wanted our company mind you...but she was always hoping to catch a glimpse of you (hanging around with Jimmy). She was crazy about you even then! I am so glad that you and Bettina had such a wonderful life together. My heart aches for you, your children and grandchildren. You were like brother to me and I have never forgotten your kindness! Mother (96) sends her love to you and so do I. Prayers are being lifted for you and yours.

So sad to hear the loss of Bettina. We worked together at SHANDS Jacksonville in the Department of Neurology for a number of years.She was a kind and generous woman who made an significant impact on so many people always willing to help and her sweet spirit touched the hearts of many. She will surely be missed. Rest now my friend.

I am greatly saddened by Bettina's passing. She was a loving, humorous soul who always had time and a kind word for everyone. I know we will all miss her but I think that heaven will be a little brighter with her there.

I went to school with Bettina as well at Lake Shore and Lee. We even stayed over at each other houses on occasion during earlier years. We were good friends. She was a great person. Sorry for your loss.

To the family of Betina, I knew Betina from our days at Lake Shore Junior High School. She was always a very kind person. I have many fond memories of our time in classes together at Lake Shore. I am so sorry for your loss. She was a very wonderful person. I lost my wife to ALS almost two years ago. The loss of a spouse and mother is a huge loss. I pray that God will comfort you in this very difficult time. Sincerely, John Schert, Gainesville Fl

Dear Tommy, and your entire family-
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Bettina. I had not seen her for many years but always thought fondly of her, going way back to Lakeshore Junior High, when we were closer friends. I hope peace finds you and your whole family very soon. My best wishes to you all.

Bettina and I grew up from elementary school on and got in trouble regularly! We even learned how to do the "twist" and we were great (although her mother threw out her back trying to learn!)! I am so sorry for her passing. Tina Teske Barnes, Lynchburg, VA
