Dear Herb, Erin, Kristel and family, My love and prayerful support are with each of you during this time. I have many beautiful memories of special times shared with her over the many years. Betty was such a dear Christian friend and was always so loving and thoughtful. I can't even count the many times over the years that I would be delighted to receive a sweet note of care from her. What a joy and blessing she was to all who knew and loved her. May God bless each of you and hold you close.

The wonderful lady of a wonderful couple who we will miss. Larry misses you and Herb walking hand in hand into church each Sunday morning. Rest in Peace.

Have held Betty in my prayers for a long time since hearing of her struggle with cancer. Thankfully she is no longer suffering and is at peace even as her family and friends tearfully mourn her passing. She was a kind and generous person and I will always remember our time together with love and fond memories.
