Dear Brenda, I am sorry for the loss of your mother. I hope you will remember me. We went to elementary and jr.high together. I came to your home often and your parents were always gracious and made me feel welcome. I always thought you were so lucky to have parents like them. I moved away after jr.high and about 15 yrs. ago moved back to Greensboro. My e-mail is [email protected] and my phone # is 282-5792. I would love to see you again. Thoughts and Prayers for you&your family.Renee Turpin Shelton

Dear Cindy and Brenda,
My deepest sympathy at the loss of Betty. I find comfort in the words of the old hymn that state "We are but strangers here, Heaven is our home..." and trust you can find comfort in that thought as well. Nothing I can say will ease your pain at her loss, but the thought that she is home in glory may help. I remember the many times we all visited together on Friday or Saturday nights on Holden Road and remember nothing but laughter and fun. I am sorry I will not be able to attend the visitation or service, but my thoughts and prayers are with you and I look forward to the time we are all together around our Savior at the ultimate family reunion. I commend you all to God's care and keeping.
In His love,
Tom (Tommy)

Dear Brenda and Cindy,
First of all my regrets at not being able to be there at this time.Carla and I are out of town and will not be able to attend the visitaion or graveside. Our prayers and thoughts are with each of you and your family though.
We will always remember Dale and Betty as the aunt and uncle that stayed forever young. The laughter (at Gowillwa's)and the great mealsand fellowship we had in Forest Oaks for all those years will always bring thoughts of joy to my heart in remembrance. There are no words that can comfort you at this time that come from men. Only the comfort from our Heavenly Father and the knowledge that Aunt Betty, your mom, is in those loving arms of her savior, healed and by all means rejoicing with your dad. The realization that another of the Andrews clan has gone home brings to me even further how your mom and dad's lives and testimonies were always an examble and inspiration to me.
Please know we love you guys and share in your loss, but we rejoice in her home call and healing.
Our love to all of you always,
Lin & carla

I was so sorry to hear of Betty's death. She was a marvelous lady and I know she will be missed. Dale was a good friend of my late husband, Henry Carl Hinnant, who died in 2006. All of you have my heartfelt sympathy and will be in my thoughts and prayers.
